John -- There’s a showdown happening in Congress right now, and progressives are winning.
A group of progressive House members -- including all four BNC reps -- successfully pressured Democratic leadership to support childcare for all. And they didn’t stop there. House progressives are throwing their weight behind the fight for a host of wins on the $3.5 Trillion reconciliation package needed to pass the infrastructure bill.
The Daily Poster recently reported on which Democrats are committed to withholding their vote on the infrastructure bill without these concessions from moderates, and we’re proud to say all 4 BNC reps are on the list. We’ve known for years that Congress doesn’t work for regular people, they work for wealthy donors and corporations. There’s a simple reason for that: They work for the people who fund them.
That’s what we’re doing here at Brand New Congress. In 2018 we recruited and helped elect AOC. In 2020 we helped elect Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, and helped re-elect AOC and Rashida Tliab. Now we need to add to their strength and get even more progressive legislation passed for working people and their families.
BNC is backing 19 bold progressives running for Congress this year, including our four current representatives. And we have more exciting announcements coming soon.
We need your help to get them ALL elected. Can you pitch in $27 today to build a progressive majority in Congress?

I am committed to electing bold progressives to join their fight.
Are you with me?
