John,

It’s the end of the month, which means that politicians are trying to raise as much money as possible for their campaigns and PACs before the fundraising deadline on the 31st. Here’s a look at one fundraising email Nancy Pelosi sent last week.

---------- Forwarded message ---------

Nancy Pelosi and the rest of House Democratic leadership don’t have substance to sell, so instead, they are pushing fear-based fundraising tactics to raise money and push their status-quo agenda in Congress.

Racism, the climate crisis, and economic inequality are more of a threat to the American people than Donald Trump, yet Nancy Pelosi and corporate Democrats have failed to make any headway on issues actually affecting Americans.

Justice Democrats aren’t focused on Trump — instead, we are focused on electing working-class members of Congress who will fight for accountability, justice, and progress. Will you join us in this work by contributing $3?

The problem with these scammy fundraising tactics is that they work — and Nancy Pelosi and her team know it. But we promise John, that we’ll never deceive our grassroots supporters just to make a quick buck.

When you chip in just a few dollars to fundraising emails like this one, you are sending a message that status-quo establishment scare tactics won’t work. If you believe that we need more elected officials fighting against the *real * threats of racism, climate change, or inequality, will you rush a contribution right now?

Your support helps us transform the Democratic Party and make it more responsive to the needs of the people.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
