John – Progressives across the country bent over backwards to deliver the White House and the Senate to Democrats, and what have we gotten in return?
So far, nothing.
We’ve spent the last 18 months watching conservative Democrats – from the Senate to the White House – sabotage every single policy that could meaningfully improve the lives of working people.
Now as dark money groups and “crypto billionaires” dump millions of dollars to defeat our candidates, and inflation pushes families to the brink, it feels like all hope of progress is about to go up in smoke.
We organized for years to make these victories possible because our communities are desperate for policy that would actually help working people and families.
It’s so frustrating because everything we’re working toward -- a living wage, voting rights, climate justice, gun violence prevention, immigration reform, worker protections, and transforming our criminal-legal system -- all of this is being held ransom by the Jim Crow filibuster.
The incessant gridlock is keeping us from governing boldly and transformatively to improve the lives of millions of people, children, and families all across the country. Some days it feels like Mitch McConnell is still Senate Majority Leader.
We’ve got to fight like lives are on the line, John – because they are.
This year we have an opportunity to elect our first BNC Senator in Charles Booker. This is a crucial step to breaking the logjam in the Senate and getting some real work done.
As we reach the midpoint of this month, Brand New Congress needs you with us more than ever. Based on our latest projections we are still $8,587 short of what we MUST raise for June.
So I’m asking you now to dig deep and help us hit this goal. Make a contribution of any amount today, so we can elect a progressive majority strong enough to END this gridlock in 2022.
