John,
If history is of any indication, our campaign and the movement we worked hard to build could be left vulnerable in the next election cycle.
We saw it with the Squad in this last election cycle with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. After they won their seats in 2018, many questioned whether or not they’d be able to win again and faced challenges from Republican and political establishment insurgents who raised millions of dollars and unleashed attack ads.
And while all three managed to win re-election, the fact still remains: 88% of congressional races were won by the candidate who raised more money. To put this into perspective, John: more money was spent to stop Jamaal’s challenger campaign last year than in any Democratic primary ever. Incumbent electeds are often the most vulnerable in their first term. That’s why we’re building up a grassroots-funded war chest, starting now, so we can be prepared for the fights ahead.
John, we rely on every dollar that comes through the door to power our movement — and as we get closer to the 2022 midterms, it’s the single best way to ensure Jamaal can keep fighting for us in Congress and that our movement continues to grow. Will you chip in $5 today?

Look, John. The 2020 elections weren’t easy for AOC, Ilhan, or Rashida. But the truth is that Jamaal will enter his first re-election at an even more vulnerable time.
That’s because New York state is losing a congressional seat and the boundaries will be redistricted so Jamaal’s district will change. What’s more is that the all the people who will draw the new redistricted boundaries endorsed against Jamaal in the primary last year.
Our opponents know this too, and they’re keeping an even closer eye on us to see if we can keep up in 2022. They’ll be ready to act accordingly, just as they did with AOC, Ilhan, and Rashida in 2020 — which is why we need to loudly continue showing the strength of our movement, starting now.
John, if you’re able, please make a contribution of any amount to our campaign today. The stronger our fundraising, the stronger a message we can send to the public that our movement is strong and ready to take on whatever challenges headed our way.
Thank you,
