John,
In 2018, we stunned the establishment by defeating out-of-touch incumbents through a groundbreaking grassroots effort to elect organizers and working people to Congress. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was our first recruited candidate elected to the House.
In 2020, our movement grew stronger when we expanded the Squad with members of Congress who were focused on representing the interests of their communities, not corporations. Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and Marie Newman joined seven other Justice Democrats in the House.
We’ve recruited and elected changemakers in Congress, creating a mission-driven coalition fighting for bold and progressive change. And in 2022 — with your help — we’ll do it again.
We want to remind you about two of our 2022 endorsed candidates, Rana Abdelhamid and Odessa Kelly. Rana and Odessa are community organizers challenging corporate Democrats on a bold vision of social, racial, and economic justice. For too long, Democratic incumbents have ignored many of the issues facing working-class Americans and instead have worked on behalf of corporations and wealthy CEOs to protect the status quo.
Rana and Odessa are running people-powered campaigns against some of the most well-funded members of Congress. And just like Alexandria, Ilhan, Jamaal, Cori, and every single Justice Democrat, they’ll never take a dime of corporate money. Will you chip in $3 to support Rana and Odessa’s campaign? Every dollar goes directly to their campaigns:
Most candidates for Congress spend the early part of their campaign calling corporate donors on a consultant’s Rolodex, but Rana and Odessa are counting on organized people beating organized money.
Being a part of the Justice Democrats slate means being part of a multi-racial, working-class movement that is reshaping what’s possible in the halls of Congress. Will you chip in $3 directly to Rana and Odessa’s campaigns to help us expand the Squad, and elect two more Justice Democrats who will govern for working-class Americans, not the 1%?
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
