They’re not fooling anybody, John.
 
Right wing lawmakers are blaming the cost of gas exclusively on Joe Biden. Cable news pundits are blaming inflation on pandemic stimulus checks.
 
But working people know the score. It's the price gouging.

They really expect us to believe that the reason your rent shot up 30% and the cost of a tank of gas has doubled in the last year is because you got a one-time $1,200 check a year and a half ago.
 
And what is Congress doing about this? So far, nothing.
 
We urgently need more working people in Congress who feel the pain that all of us are going through right now – because the people closest to the pain need to be closest to the power.
 
From the beginning Brand New Congress has been committed to getting working class progressives elected to Congress. These races are NOT easy, and they’re only getting harder.
 
That’s why BNC depends on grassroots donors like you. Our average donation is just $17, and over 99% (seriously) of our funding comes from small dollar donors. Any amount at all could make a difference in an election. Can we count on you for a contribution today to support our work?

When we started Brand New Congress in 2016, we had to organize across the country to convince progressives to run for office. We worked almost exclusively with people who have never run for office and needed help with everything from filing their candidate declarations to building their websites and hiring their teams.
 
Today, we’re glad to say, a LOT more progressives are running – many inspired by the candidates we recruited like AOC and Cori Bush. In fact, there are more progressives running for Congress than we have resources to support.
 
But this is not 2016 or 2018 anymore, times have changed. Just like price gouging CEOs are pricing you out at the gas pump, dark money groups are hounding our candidates and, frankly, buying these elections.
 
We need you to fight back with us. If you’re in a position to contribute today, any amount at all would be a huge help. You can donate here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/brand_new_congress
 
This work is hard, John, but it must be done. The people in power are going to fight progress every step of the way. They’re protecting their profits, but we’re fighting for the people.
 
That’s why we’re not giving up, no matter how many obstacles they throw in our way. CEOs are trying to price us out of existence, but working people are fighting back.
 
And we are going to win.
 
In solidarity,
 
Brand New Congress
