Hey John,
As we wrap up the first month of the new year, we wanted to take a moment
to pause, step back, and reflect on all that's happened so far. But before
we do, we have a favor to ask:
[ [link removed] ]We're two days away from our end-of-month fundraising deadline, and
we're still lagging behind where we thought we'd be. If you're able to
chip in anything at all — even $3 makes a huge difference — please do so
at this link to help us shore up the gap.

Now, here's a recap of everything that's happened this January on Team
Bowman:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
📍 We continued to keep an eye on congressional redistricting.
With our first re-election happening this year, we want to make sure that
Jamaal is set up for success to earn another term in Congress.
While nothing is set in stone, we're currently keeping an eye on things,
changing our organizing strategy to fit the needs of our new district, and
regularly checking in with current constituents.
🦠 In the face of the omicron variant, we demanded more COVID relief.
Rather than demanding that people get back to work and put their lives on
the line, Jamaal led the charge in demanding that Congress come together
to pass another relief package with $2,000 monthly survival checks,
increase COVID testing in schools, and pass a new federal minimum wage and
guarantee sick time for all workers.
🗳️ The Senate effectively shut down the passage of voting rights
legislation, but Jamaal still stood for these rights in protest — and was
arrested.
Along with twenty youth organizers and faith leaders, Jamaal stood in
support of our voting rights and held our leaders accountable for their
part in obstructing justice.
The fight for voting rights isn't over, and we'll continue to demand
justice and accountability for those who have been left without a voice
for far too long.
👀 Shortly after Jamaal's arrest — yet another establishment Democratic
challenger announced their intent to challenge Jamaal.
In his announcement, this challenger noted that Jamaal is "too far left to
get re-elected" and that "Democrats in Westchester don't want a
progressive representing them in Washington".
John, if
there's anything the past two years have shown us — we know that that's
not true. But this does confirm what we've always known: re-election is
not a given, and we need to organize as hard as we can in order to make
sure Jamaal stays in Congress.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the very beginning, our progressive movement has always been about
meeting the immediate needs of our community just as much as it's about
creating structural change.
We're hopeful to continue this work into the rest of 2022 and beyond — but
we need your help. [ [link removed] ]Please, chip in $3 or whatever
you're able to our campaign today and help us reach our $20,000
end-of-month goal.
Thank you,
Team Bowman
