John,
We only have a few hours left before the midnight FEC deadline — when our 2022 progressive primary challengers will need to once again make their fundraising numbers public.
Here’s why that’s important: Three of our endorsed candidates — Rana Abdelhamid, Kina Collins, and Summer Lee — are in tough races with steep fundraising challenges. We’re facing a political establishment funded by Wall Street, Big Pharma, and fossil fuel companies. That’s not how Justice Democrats do it. Rana, Kina, and Summer are relying on grassroots support, not taking a single cent from corporate PACs.
Media and political insiders are all waiting to see if our challengers can raise enough from small-dollar donations to keep pace with the corporate-backed establishment candidates. If we raise the money our slate needs to keep pace, we can build winning campaigns AND keep up momentum so the media doesn’t ignore us.
At this moment, every dollar counts and brings us closer to our shared vision for equity and justice for all.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
