John,
Yesterday, Joe Manchin and other obstructionist Democrats fought until late in the night to obstruct progressives, and our biggest shot to expand Medicare, address climate change, increase corporate tax rates, and provide universal pre-K and community college.
Our progressive coalition in Congress didn’t let them win. Justice Democrats held the line and successfully delayed a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. And they won’t let up until Congress passes a $3.5 trillion spending bill to back it up.
When speaking to reporters outside the Capitol yesterday, Manchin referred to the actions of Justice Democrats in Congress, saying “if liberals want to pass a bigger bill, they should elect more liberals.” What he really meant was that if progressives wanted to pass a bigger bill, they should elect more Justice Democrats. And we couldn’t agree more.
AOC, Pramila, Ilhan, Ayanna, Cori, Jamaal and the rest of the Justice Democrats in Congress are fighting for working people and their interests every day. In a short amount of time, they’ve already accomplished so much. Like tanking a billionaire, dark money, fossil fuel, Exxon lobbyist-drafted infrastructure bill and championing the climate, economic, and social priorities our country needs.
Now imagine what would happen if we elected more members of Congress like them. It would be Joe Manchin’s worst nightmare!
So what do you say, John, will you chip in $3 to elect more members of Congress and help make Joe Manchin’s fears a reality?
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
