John -- Brand New Congress was launched five years ago this month with a vision to take over Congress by electing hundreds of progressives from around the country.

In 2018 we helped elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the first candidates we recruited to run for office.

In 2020 we helped Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman get elected, and helped AOC and Rashida Tliab win resounding re-elections.

Since they and other national progressives burst onto the scene there’s been a seismic shift in the way Democrats talk about the issues we’re trying to solve -- and their solutions.

In 2016 Medicare for All was dismissed as “pie in the sky,” but by 2020 it was the mainstream healthcare policy among Democratic candidates.

In 2018 the Green New Deal was written off as “the Green Dream or whatever.” Now the GND has taken center stage in Democratic infrastructure bills and has become wildly popular across party lines.

This is the impact Brand New Congress candidates and representatives have on Congress. We are redefining what is possible, and getting the right people elected to get the job done.

But the establishment has taken notice, and they are fighting back. Big corporate donors flood every race with money for unlimited ads, mailers, and more to help their preferred candidates.

For unbought, unbossed progressives to win, they need to be prepared. We have to train them and their teams. We have to help them fundraise and develop winning plans.

We are actively recruiting candidates for our 2022 slate, and we’ve already begun providing support and training for our nominees. This is a major investment of resources early in the election cycle, and we need your support to sustain it.

Can you support our work with a monthly contribution of $17.22 (our average donation) or any other amount today?

We’ve proven that when we organize, we win. But for organizing to be effective against establishment cash we have to start early, work tirelessly, and adapt constantly.

Together we can help progressives take over Congress and return power to the people where it rightfully belongs.

We don’t take money from corporations or lobbyists, so we can’t do this without people like you. Are you with us?
