John,

We rely on our grassroots movement to fuel our primary victories against the corporate-backed Democratic establishment. And we received 7,276 individual online donations last month. That’s an incredible show of support by the folks in our movement.

But here’s the thing: last March, we received more than 10,000 individual online donations. We also raised more money in March 2021 than we did in March 2022.

Our fundraising cannot keep falling, John. Because nearly 90% of Congressional races are won by the candidate who spends the most money. We’re up against a Democratic establishment that raises tens of millions from Wall Street, the fossil fuel industry, Big Pharma, and anti-union corporations. We must increase our fundraising right now, with our next primaries approaching, in order to be in a strong position to win our races.

So, John, we really need your help to turn this concerning trend around. Can you chip in $3 or anything at all? Folks have been stepping up in a big way since we first shared our fundraising slowdown with you, but we need even more support to reverse the downturn.

Contribute $3

While the Democratic establishment looks for candidates with extensive wealthy fundraising networks, we recruit and support candidates fighting for Medicare for All and a Green New Deal. When corporate PACs, fossil fuel lobbyists, and health insurance CEOs are funding politicians — Democrats and Republicans — laws are passed to serve corporate profits, NOT the people.

We need more politicians who will unabashedly serve the people. That’s why we worked so hard to help recruit and elect AOC, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman. It’s why we support the Squad every step of the way in Congress. It’s why we’re fighting to elect a slate of working-class progressives to join the Justice Democrats bloc on Capitol Hill.

We don’t take a cent from corporate PACs, and neither do our candidates. That’s why we’re relying on you to help us raise what we need to win this year. Can you chip in $3 or anything at all today?

We appreciate anything you can give and all the ways you support our movement. We know we can only do this together with you.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
