John,

In 2018, we recruited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for Congress.

In 2020, Justice Democrats Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and Marie Newman won their seats in competitive primary elections.

And in 2022, we’ve recruited five Justice Democrats to join them. Odessa Kelly, Rana Abdelhamid, Jessica Cisneros, Kina Collins, and Summer Lee are running for Congress to expand the Justice Democrats coalition, and build political power in the House.

Working people are sick and tired of Democratic politicians saying one thing, and then voting against the interests of working people. But the biggest obstacle to electing progressives to Congress isn’t a shortage of demand for change, it’s a shortage of resources. Our ability to elect the Justice Democrats slate depends on raising even just a fraction of the money that the establishment Democratic machine makes from their Wall Street, Big Pharma, and corporate mega-donors.

We have a goal of raising $20,000 between our five recruited candidates before the end of the month. Will you split a contribution between Odessa, Rana, Jessica, Kina, and Summer to make sure they can put up big numbers against their establishment opponents?

Contribute $3

In just a few years, the candidates we’ve elected to Congress, like AOC, Ilhan, Jamaal, Cori, and others have made a tremendous impact — while do-nothing incumbents have done little but raise more corporate PAC money for their re-election and maintain the status quo.

The establishment has proven that even with the majority, they won’t fight for our values. If we want to cancel student loan debt, pass Medicare for All, and win a Green New Deal, we’re going to have to elect more progressives to Congress.

When you contribute directly to our recruited candidates, you’re supporting five working-class women of color, who will make a difference for working people in Congress. Can the JD slate count on you to split a $3 contribution between their five campaigns?

Contribute $3

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
