John,

Facebook banned political ads for over four months. Mark Zuckerberg and a bunch of Big Tech executives took away a key way we raise funds for all that time.

Facebook’s decision was incredibly detrimental to campaigns and organizations like ours that depend heavily on grassroots donors. We lost a major fundraising stream for roughly 120 days.

We’re behind on our fundraising goal for this quarter, John. Can you help close the gap by chipping in $17.05 (our average donation) or whatever you can afford right now?

Contribute $17.05

We’re 100% grassroots-funded and don’t take any money from corporate PACs. Do you know who is taking money from corporate PACs right now? The DCCC. That means they were raising millions while we lost a critical fundraising stream. And the DCCC recruits candidates who take corporate PAC money and don’t support progressive priorities.

We’re proud that our average donation is just $17.05 this year. It’s a testament to what regular folks can build together, just chipping in what they can when they can. We’re transforming the Democratic party as we take on corporate Democrats in primaries and push what’s possible in Congress.

That can only continue if we hit our fundraising goals — and we’re behind this quarter. Can you contribute $3, $17.05, or anything at all right now to help us close our fundraising gap? Every dollar helps us push the Democratic party to be more progressive.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
