John,

Corporate Democrats are blaming “Squad politics” for the Democratic Party’s lower midterm poll numbers. But if the establishment followed Squad politics, the Democratic Party would actually be delivering for the people.

Squad politics are passing Build Back Better and fighting for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, racial justice, codifying Roe v. Wade, canceling student debt, raising the minimum wage to at least $15, reducing child poverty, and so much more. Squad politics are doing what’s right for the people.

That’s why AOC, Ilhan, Rashida, Cori, Jamaal, and Ayanna were some of the only House Democrats to vote to protect President Biden’s agenda to fight climate change, extend the Child Tax Credit, lower health care costs, and secure paid family and medical leave. Now, because of the Democratic Party’s inability to deliver, child poverty rose 41% after the Child Tax Credit wasn’t renewed.

Corporate Democrats are always blaming progressives for their own failures. Justice Democrats is one of the few groups investing in electing progressive fighters and defeating establishment politicians looking for scapegoats rather than economic, social, racial, and environmental justice.

Can you chip in $3 to help us expand the Squad in Congress and advocate for even more people-centered politics?

When Democrats lose, they blame progressives in their quest for power with no questions asked. They did it when the House majority shrunk after the 2020 election and when centrists lost the Virginia governor’s race last year. And they’re doing it again as Democrats see their polling numbers slip ahead of the midterm elections in November.

When Democrats fail to deliver, they want to find excuses to blame the Squad. If corporate Democrats listened less to their corporate donors, and fought for the people, they’d be creating jobs, protecting the planet, and improving life for nearly every person in this country.

The smears from the Democratic establishment AND the extreme right-wing GOP will continue, because representatives like AOC, Cori Bush, and Ilhan Omar threaten the power of both parties.

We need to show that we won’t back off our Squad politics, John. Can you rush a $3 donation to Justice Democrats to show our power? This is part of our response to smears from the Democratic establishment.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
