John,



After we won our first race in 2018, we dove right back in.

We celebrated Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s upset victory against a powerful
corporate Democrat, then we got back to work. We took that momentum and
helped elect Jamaal Bowman in 2020, in a district very close to AOC's.

In early 2019, AOC introduced the Green New Deal resolution into Congress
and we hustled to find a progressive to challenge incumbent Eliot Engel in
NY-16.

Through our candidate nominating process, Jamaal Bowman’s name came in to
JD. At the time, Jamaal was an award-winning middle school principal in
the Bronx. After interviews, meetings, and a ton of campaign preparation,
we helped Jamaal launch his run for Congress in New York’s 16th
Congressional District.

We took what we learned from AOC’s race, and the volunteer base who
knocked doors and made phone calls for her upset victory, and hit the
ground running with Jamaal. We helped build a digital presence for the
campaign, spent weeks working alongside local community members and
organizers to build a coalition on the ground, and helped find staff and
volunteers for the campaign.

We helped Jamaal and his team build a grassroots campaign rooted in
communities the incumbent neglected for decades and raised over $2.1
million dollars with an average contribution of $30. JD staff and
volunteers helped lead important parts of Jamaal’s field program — from
the creation of the field organizing plan to managing the campaign’s GOTV
distributed organizing program to helping run massive phone banking and
post-card writing campaigns.

Jamaal took down another powerful corporate incumbent, all because of the
work we did together. The incumbent had big money behind him, and a ton of
last minute smear campaigns against Jamaal, but our grassroots fundraising
and organizing prevailed.

We have the chance now to elect 6 more Justice Democrats this year in open
seats and against corporate-backed incumbents. We can win with less money
but it still takes a wave of grassroots support — folks chipping in $5,
$27, or whatever they can afford — to run winning campaigns against the
political establishment. And in-person early voting in our first primaries
(in Texas) starts in just 36 days.

John, we really
need you to chip in today so we can build 2022 campaigns that can defeat
corporate incumbents. It’s us vs. Wall Street, fossil fuel executives, and
health insurance companies. Can you chip in $2.70, $27, or anything at all
today to help us elect 6 working class progressives in 2022?

Thank you so much for your support. I know we can do big things together
this year.

In solidarity,
