John,

Wall Street is already gearing up to spend millions of dollars to stop
progressives from winning elections across the country.

That’s why within the last few months, three of Wall Streets’ favorite
House Democrats came together to form Team Blue PAC, a corporate front
group that will be used to defend corporate democratic incumbents against
progressive democratic challengers. In fact, they've already started
protecting Wall Street Democrat Steny Hoyer from his progressive primary
challenger and DFA-endorsed candidate McKayla Wilkes.

Let’s be clear, after two election cycles of corporate Democratic
incumbants losing to progressive challengers, from Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley in 2018 to Jamaal Bowman, Marie Newman
and Cori Bush in 2020, Team Blue PAC was formed to stop the next AOC.

electing the next AOC. Can you donate $5 or more right now so we can show
them the power of the progressive movement?

Here is the part that reveals this as a Wall Street-led assault on
progressives: during the 2020 elections, the founders of Team Blue, Hakeem
Jeffries, Josh Gottheimer, and Terri Sewell, were some of the top
recipients of corporate PAC money among House Democrats.

Sewell herself raised $1.6 million from corporate PACs, and Jeffries and
Gottheimer both raised over $1.3 million.

And with Gottheimer currently serving as a co-chair of the moderate
Problem Solvers Caucus, and Sewell serving as Vice-Chair for Outreach of
the centrist New Democrat Coalition, their intentions are clear.

pivotal to the future of the Democratic Party. Chip in $5 or more now to
show Team Blue PAC that the progressive movement will not back down.

From 2006 to 2021, DFA has a long track record of helping progressive
candidates win their primaries even in the face of establishment
opposition and this isn't the first time that establishment Democrats have
tried to stop the movement progressives are building.

In 2018, following the work DFA members put in to help elect AOC and
Ayanna Pressley, the DCCC instituted a blacklist on consultants and
political groups that support challengers against incumbents.

While we can't stop corporate Democrats like Josh Gottheimer, Team Blue
Pac, or the DCCC from challenging progressive power, we can show the DC
establishment that a progressive message targeted at young people, people
of color, and working families is how you win in 2021.

Thank you for helping progessives take on the establishment and win.
