BREAKING NEWS, John.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a Democratic primary challenger, and he’s
serious business.

Bronx Democratic Councilman Fernando Cabrera announced his campaign to
challenge AOC yesterday, claiming she “has brought nothing to the district
— not one job. She cost the city 25,000 jobs by opposing the Amazon
headquarters and $27 billion in revenues.”

Cabrera, a clear corporate Democrat, then went on to say, “Why not have
Amazon high schools to prepare our kids for jobs?!” That’s right -- he
seriously thinks corporate giant Amazon and billionaire Jeff Bezos should
run our schools.

As ridiculous as this guy sounds, he’s the real deal and will pose a
serious challenge to AOC in her race for re-election in 2020. We know
he’ll have the backing of the 1% and corporations (clearly) -- we need to
ensure AOC can match that with a wave of grassroots support from the
people.

AOC needs you now more than ever, John. Will you rush an
urgent contribution of
$5 or
more to her campaign and DFA today to help us keep this fearless
progressive leader in Congress?

Not only does AOC now have a primary challenger to worry about, but the
Republicans going up against her in the general have already raised $1
million last quarter alone.

It’s clear that both Republicans and the Democratic establishment are
throwing everything they’ve got at AOC because they’re threatened by her
bold progressive stances. From proposing the Green New Deal to speaking
out against the concentration camps along the border, to advocating for
Medicare for All and a $15 minimum wage, AOC has proved that she stands by
her progressive values, and now, we need to stand by her.

DFA was one of the first national organizations to support AOC, endorsing
and helping her build a powerful grassroots campaign that took on the
corporate wing of the Democratic establishment and won… a defining moment
of progressives shaking up the system in 2018. Help us keep her fighting
for our progressive movement in Congress: pitch in whatever you can to
have her back now.
