John,



This is an important email about our work heading into 2022. It’s long,
but please stick with me and read to the end.

In just a few years, Justice Democrats has made a major impact on politics
in Washington. In 2016, a bunch of us were Bernie campaign staffers and
super volunteers. We had just worked on his inspiring campaign for
president and were trying to figure out how to answer one important
question: How can we continue Bernie’s vision AND force Congress, and the
Democratic establishment, to prioritize a progressive agenda?

We launched in 2017 and it was really tough going at first. It’s not easy
to run a grassroots-funded organization fighting for progress — we know
how corporate donors and the political establishment will do anything to
protect the status quo. Through the initial struggle, the election of
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made it all worth it.

When Justice Democrats recruited AOC to run, she was working as a
bartender — she even worked as a bartender for many months while running
for office. Sometimes that’s what it takes when you’re a working-class
candidate.

We helped AOC manage her team, run her organizing program, and make
everything we could of our small budget. Then, she won. We toppled one of
the most powerful corporate Democrats and elected the youngest woman ever
to serve in Congress in his place.

We were still funded 100% from the grassroots and fundraising continued to
be a huge challenge for us. The Democratic establishment and the
right-wing have unlimited amounts of money pouring in from Wall Street,
fossil fuel companies, Big Pharma, and health insurance executives. We’re
trying to defeat them with a fraction of the money corporate Democrats
have in their campaign accounts.

That’s why your support is so critical,
John. Most Congressional races
are won by the candidate with more money. Yet, we continue to win
primaries with less money because we have the message, organizing
operation, campaign experience, and grassroots energy behind us.

The election cycle after AOC won and the Squad took office, we helped
elect Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, and Marie Newman. We also helped defend
the Squad from primary challenges backed by Wall Street and the political
establishment. We’ve proven we can win.

This year we recruited five working-class progressives to take on the
Democratic establishment in 2022. And just days ago, we endorsed a sixth.
With your help we can elect Odessa Kelly, Rana Abdelhamid, Kina Collins,
Jessica Cisneros, Summer Lee, and Greg Casar, and continue making our mark
on Congress.

Together we can raise up a progressive agenda and build our progressive
bloc in Washington so we can finally pass Medicare for All and a Green New
Deal. Our first 2022 primaries are right around the corner — in-person
early voting for our Texas Justice Democrats, Jessica and Greg, starts on
February 14.

So today, I’m asking you to help us make 2022 a winning year for Justice
Democrats. I promise you that almost no other org will spend your money
more efficiently. If we can raise enough this year, I know we can elect
more new Justice Dems than ever before.

John, now is
the time to chip in and support strong progressive primaries. We need your
help to prepare for 2022. We could go from 10 to 16 Justice Democrats in
Congress, putting even more pressure on Wall Street-backed corporate
Democrats. Can you make a contribution today?
