Good news:
The Federal Election Commission — the independent agency that enforces campaign finance law in U.S. federal elections — just announced that individual contribution limits towards federal elections is now $5,800 per election cycle1, a $200 increase from previous years.
Meanwhile, the FEC doesn’t explicitly regulate political spending by corporations, and many of them donate millions of dollars each year to support establishment candidates who’ll continue to uphold the status quo.
And while big checks don’t always equal big wins in congressional races, they did in the 2020 cycle, where 88% of congressional races were won by the candidate who raised more money.
Listen. We don’t know that we’ll ever outspend corporations and candidates backed by lobbyists and corporate PACs. But what we do know is that the only way to take back our power is through the grassroots — $3, $5, or even $15 at a time.
So, will you please chip in $3 or whatever you’re able to our campaign today? Join our growing, grassroots movement:
Contribute $3
Jamaal doesn’t accept a single penny from corporate PACs and lobbyists, because he knows that those aren’t the voices we need to prioritize in Washington. We’re proud to be powered by supporters like you, chipping in when they can to power this movement to dismantle systemic racism and build a multi-racial democracy.
Campaigns like ours aren’t just built overnight, and they definitely aren’t sustained without effort, either. Our movement requires consistent, reliable support — even when an election’s further away. Because when it comes to meeting people’s needs and movement building, there’s no such thing as an “off-year”.
Chip in $3 — or whatever you’re able — to our campaign and help us sustain our movement so we can keep fighting the status quo.
In solidarity,
Team Bowman
