[1]Justice Democrats

John,

Yesterday, The Intercept reported that Cheri Bustos, chair of the DCCC, is
trying to pressure House Democrats to approve Trump’s renegotiated NAFTA
deal, without adding a single demand made by unions or environmental
groups.

Cheri Bustos even said that labor unions and progressive members of
Congress will just have to “get over it.” Democrats are the House
Majority, we have power. And yet, Bustos is choosing not to use it.



[ [link removed] ]John: if
you agree that progressives shouldn’t just “get over it” make a
contribution right now to send the message to Cheri Bustos that Justice
Democrats won’t back down.

Here’s the thing: incumbent Democrats told Bustos that they would like to
vote for Trump’s trade deal but they are afraid of getting primaried.
That’s how powerful our movement has become. We’re shifting the balance of
power in the party by using primaries to create accountability and
consequences for their actions.

And there’s more: Joe Crowley, the entrenched Democrat defeated by AOC, is
now a paid lobbyist in favor of the renegotiated NAFTA deal. The revolving
door in Washington must come to an end. It’s unhealthy for our democracy
and only reinforces corruption and cronyism.

Bustos shouldn’t be kneeling to Trump and compromising Democratic values.
Democrats should be the party of voters, not corporate donors.

This is why we need more Justice Democrats in Congress like Jessica
Cisneros who is already taking on Henry Cuellar’s vocal support for NAFTA
2.0. Trade agreements should strengthen unions and lift up all of our
communities, not be a global race to the bottom.

We’re less than 48 hours away from closing the books on this month’s
fundraising and we need to raise $13,651 to hit our fundraising goal
before midnight tomorrow.

elect Democrats who will stand up to Cheri Bustos and fight for fair trade
deals that aren’t being lobbied for by corrupt ex-members of Congress.

Thank you for everything,

Justice Democrats
