John, we only have a few hours left before the midnight FEC deadline — when our 2022 progressive primary challengers will need to make their fundraising numbers public.
Here’s why that’s important: Many of our 2022 slate of challengers — Rana Abdelhamid, Jessica Cisneros, Odessa Kelly, Kina Collins, and Summer Lee — are facing corporate-backed incumbents who raise millions from Wall Street, Big Pharma, and fossil fuel companies. That’s not how Justice Democrats do it. Rana, Jessica, Odessa, Kina, and Summer are relying on grassroots support, not taking a single cent from corporate PACs.
Media and political insiders are all waiting to see if our challengers can raise enough from small-dollar donations to keep pace with the corporate-backed incumbents. If we raise the money our slate needs to keep pace, we can build winning campaigns AND keep up momentum so the media doesn’t ignore us.
At this moment, every dollar counts and brings us closer to Rana, Kina, Odessa, Summer, and Jessica’s shared vision for equity and justice for all.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
