John,

I need to tell you about our next Justice Democrats primary, and ask you to be a part of our next winning campaign.

Summer Lee is running in Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District. Redistricting just recently shook up this race and split Summer’s old district in half. AND, a Republican-funded Super PAC called Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) endorsed one of Summer’s opponents. DMFI ran smear campaigns against Bernie and Jamaal Bowman in 2020.

Summer’s campaign is in a sprint towards her May 17 primary. And we’re right there with her against the political establishment. Just yesterday, Summer filed more than 7,000 petition signatures to get on the ballot — thousands more than any other candidate in the primary.

Summer can win this race — she’s an organizer and a state representative with a track record of fighting for her communities. But here’s the thing: Nearly 90% of Congressional races are won by the candidate who spends more money. Most recent data shows the fundraising numbers are close in this primary.

Summer has a chance to fundraise more this quarter than her opponents — even though she’s raising money only from the grassroots and NOT from corporate PACs. Every single dollar counts right now, because of how much this race has changed just in the last few weeks. With our support and the support of grassroots donors like you, we can still win.

We’re helping Summer build a campaign that can win. Just like we’re doing for Jessica Cisneros. Just like we did for Greg Casar this year, Cori and Jamaal in 2020, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2018.

Wall Street, fossil fuel, and corporate PAC money will keep flowing to opponents in our races. So, we’re relying on a flood of grassroots donations — $5, $27, $50, whatever folks can afford — to win another critical primary race.

The political establishment will do absolutely everything it can to stop more Justice Democrats from winning a seat in Congress. Corporate Democrats don’t want to see Summer and her support for Medicare for All and a Green New Deal rise to Congress.

So, John, can you make a contribution directly to Summer Lee’s campaign right now?

→ Yes, I can donate $3 to help Summer win another primary for the people and expand the Squad.
