John,
Last summer, the 4th most powerful Democrat in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, joined Rep. Josh Gottheimer in creating ‘Team Blue PAC’ supposedly to stop Democrats from “fighting each other instead of fighting the other team.”
But what Team Blue PAC is actually doing is sending tens of thousands of dollars into safe blue districts to stop primary challenges from Justice Democrats.
It’s alarming that critical resources from Democratic Party leadership are going to protect incumbents from having to face any competition in these deep blue districts instead of protecting the swing seats Democrats are in danger of losing in November.
A Democratic majority won’t mean anything if it doesn’t include candidates willing to take on the corporations and put people first. That is why we’re asking: Can you make a contribution so we can expand our voting bloc in Congress?
Sometimes it feels like the establishment is focused on fighting harder against progressive principals, nurses, bartenders, and labor organizers than Republicans. In fact, Team Blue PAC is already spending money against our slate of Justice Democrats, but we can’t move forward by electing the same Democrats who have spent the last four years obstructing progressives.
The establishment is targeting Justice Democrats because they know that the candidates we elect to Congress will govern according to their progressive values, not the influence of Wall Street. And while Justice Democrats are fighting to fundamentally transform politics, Team Blue PAC is working just as hard to maintain the harmful status quo. Will you back us in this fight by contributing $3 right now?
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
