John -- Progressives across the country bent over backwards to deliver the White House and the Senate to Democrats, and what have we gotten in return? 

So far, nothing. 

All hope of progress for working people, families, and children feels like it’s about to go up in smoke. We organized for years to make these victories possible because our communities are desperate for policy that would actually help working people and families.

It’s so frustrating because everything we’re working toward -- a living wage, voting rights, climate justice, gun violence prevention, immigration reform, worker protections, and transforming our criminal-legal system -- all of this is being held ransom by the Jim Crow filibuster.

The incessant gridlock is keeping us from governing boldly and transformatively to improve the lives of millions of people, children, and families all across the country. Some days it feels like Mitch McConnell is still Senate Majority Leader. 

This has to stop! People’s lives are at stake here. 

This is why our mission is so important. We can’t slow down in helping regular, working people getting elected. We need every one of them -- Melanie D’Arrigo, Sheila McCormick, and Nina Tuner! -- in Congress. 

As we reach the midpoint of this month, Brand New Congress needs you with us more than ever. We still have about $15,000 to raise to fuel robust programs to support our outstanding slate of candidates and incumbent representatives. 

So I’m asking you now to dig deep and help us hit this goal. Make a contribution of any amount today, so we can elect a progressive majority strong enough to END this gridlock in 2022.
 

We don’t have a moment to waste.

Let’s get to work,

Adrienne Bell
Executive Director 
Brand New Congress
