John -- To paraphrase journalist Mehdi Hasan, when you elect people who come from very different backgrounds than most other members of Congress, you get very different tactics - and very different results.

And Brand New Congress is certainly bringing different tactics to Washington.

Brand New Congress Representative Jamaal Bowman (NY-16) was recently arrested outside the U.S. Capitol building alongside 20 other activists on a hunger strike.

They were protesting for voting rights, calling on the Senate to act. And Rep. Bowman was the only member of Congress present.

Leadership requires action, John. And right now the Senate isn’t taking any because the swing votes are captured by extreme, conservative Democrats who’ve shut everything down in service of their corporate masters.

“There is a battle for the ballot box and we can't watch it from the sidelines. Organizers did their jobs. Now it's time for the Senate to do its job.”

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (NY-16)

Our BNC reps in the House need allies in the Senate, and Brand New Congress has THREE bold, progressive, history-making candidates on the ballot to flip GOP seats this year. We need your help to get them elected. Will you pitch in?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

If Charles Booker, Morgan Harper, and Malcolm Kenyatta win, the swing vote for the Senate majority will belong to progressives. Then it won’t matter if Joe Manchin tries to protect his coal profits at the expense of the climate, or if Kyrsten Sinema kows to Wall Street to uphold the filibuster.

A Brand New Congress means a brand new House AND Senate. 

We will keep fighting to elect leaders like Jamaal who are unbought, unbossed, and unafraid.
