John – In honor of International Women’s Day, we wanted to make sure you didn’t miss Adrienne’s message from the weekend about our work to elect more women to Congress.
This is a core part of our mission, and has been from the very start. Now more than ever it’s evident that women are needed in our legislative process.
Over 75% of our 2022 slate are women, and that is by intention. Electing working class women to Congress brings a completely different perspective that has been absent in our lawmaking before the last few years.
We’re celebrating International Women’s Day the same way we do every year – by working to get these trailblazing women elected. Will you join us? [[link removed]]

Subject: Women belong in the House and Senate
John – The first time I heard of Brand New Congress was the day they called me and asked me to run for a seat in the U.S. House.
I never expected to be a politician, but I accepted the challenge and proudly joined the slate as one of the very first BNC candidates – the original slate.
BNC’s mission is right there in our name: We want to elect a brand new Congress. A congress that looks like America and represents the full spectrum of the American experience. Because representation matters.
We see that playing out right now. Just last week a bill to codify the right to an abortion was blocked by a wealthy, white male Senator – Joe Manchin.
There may be a “record number” of women serving in Congress right now – but the problem is that number is 27%.
Despite representing more than 50% of the U.S. population, we hold barely a quarter of the seats in Congress. BNC is going to change that.
Each year the majority of the BNC slate has been made up of women, and this year that number is higher than ever at 76%.
Four of our five elected members are women – all of them women of color – and we are going to add to that number in 2022.
If you believe, like we do, that women belong in ALL the spaces where decisions are made, help us elect more women and build a Brand New Congress that truly represents America. [[link removed]]

The bold, progressive women on our slate come from every walk of life. They are working moms and community leaders. They are teachers, nurses, veterans, human rights attorneys, non-profit founders, and small business owners. They are activists and organizers.
Each and every woman on the BNC slate is fighting for progress and blazing new trails. Most of them would be the first woman to represent their district.
Help us elect these fearless progressive fighters to stand up for women everywhere. [[link removed]]

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. We invest EARLY to help grassroots candidates succeed. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020 alongside Jamaal Bowman and Rashida Tliab. And we have our first win of 2022: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick won her primary by FIVE votes thanks to BNC.
We have elections from now until November, and our candidates are counting on your support. Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
