“If politics is the art of the possible, then there are two kinds of radicals: those who disdain all worldly forms of politics, and those who engage in politics in order to change what’s possible.” — The New Yorker May 2021

It’s a big week for our movement, John.

The New Yorker published a profile piece on Justice Democrats, featuring our role in insurgent Democratic primary challenges. It discussed our work of ushering in a new political era of previously unthinkable change in mainstream politics.

Justice Democrats was born out of a need for a Democratic Party that will fight for its voters, not big corporate donors, and elect mission-driven candidates willing to fight for bold, progressive change. We know that the values that guide this work will resonate with many readers of The New Yorker and are excited to bring them into the fold.

As a supporter, John, you can help us grow our movement. The New Yorker piece is hitting newsstands this weekend, and we are looking to build on the momentum of the moment. Will you chip in $3 to help strengthen the movement?

The New Yorker story is exciting, but we know that the political revolution won’t happen in the pages of a magazine. The transformation of our political system grows more likely when people — including readers of The New Yorker — recognize that the system is fundamentally flawed and organize to change it.

We shocked the world when we organized to unseat a long-time corporate Democrat to elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Then in 2020, we did it again and again. We aren’t electing career politicians with big donor lists and giant war chests. We are working to elect working-class organizers and visionaries who will fight for the change our country so desperately needs.

Taking on corporate Democrats is no easy task, but we know how important this work is. By contributing $3 you are helping us elect more Justice Democrats and bring the fundamental political change we want to see.

We’re excited to share this news and continue our work alongside you.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
