John,

Our average donation this year is just $16.79. Our movement for a more progressive Democratic Party is fueled by small grassroots donations. It’s really incredible what we can do with enough people chipping in.

A few months before her very first primary in 2018, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had raised just a little over $100,000 for her campaign. All of the support from grassroots donations — not a cent of corporate PAC money. Even before AOC was a household name, she had the support of regular people chipping in a few bucks when they could. She couldn’t have run her campaign without that support. And she only had a fraction of what her corporate-backed challenger had in his Wall Street-funded campaign account.

Justice Democrats provided crucial support to AOC’s campaign, and helped her win the upset. We did the same for Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman last year. Now, we need to elect a wave of progressives to keep our fight for transformative change going. Can you chip in $16.79 or anything at all to fuel our progressive challenge to the establishment?

Contribute $16.79

Our latest challengers to the Democratic establishment, Odessa Kelly in TN-05 and Rana Abdelhamid in NY-12, raised $100,000 right away with the help of our growing small-dollar movement for progressive change. It’s incredible to see how we continue to power this ever-greater fight with your support.

The powerful corporate interests and Democratic establishment will be doing everything to stop us and pouring a ton of money into defeating us. Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Pharma, real estate developers, defense contractors: They all want to stop us, and that’s why they’re cutting big checks to the DCCC and moderate incumbents. So we need your help to fight back.

Donations of $5, $16.79, and $27 fuel our work to transform the Democratic Party. Can you chip in today, before midnight, and help us elect a wave of progressives to Congress?

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
