John – I’m writing today with an urgent request. We have 10 critical primaries ahead of us in August, and right now our fundraising slowdown is putting those victories in jeopardy.
 
In August, we have the chance to get five NEW bold progressive fighters on the ballot for November in Rebecca Parson (WA-06), Stephanie Gallardo (WA-09), Odessa Kelly (TN-07), Melanie D’Arrigo (NY-03), and Brittany Ramos DeBarros (NY-11).
 
We also have ALL FIVE of our current BNC representatives up for primary re-election, starting with Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib on August 2nd – less than 20 days from now.
 
June was our slowest fundraising month in two years, and July has been even more challenging. With dark money groups lining up to spend MILLIONS against progressive candidates, we can’t allow this trend to continue.
 
Brand New Congress is entirely grassroots-funded. Unlike Super PACs which can take unlimited contributions from the super rich, over 99% of our support comes from small dollar donors who give $200 or less. In fact, our average donation is $17.38.
 
In a people-powered organization like ours, every single donation – whether it’s $5, $25, $50 or $500 – makes an impact.
 
Today, I am asking you to make a donation to Brand New Congress so that we can have the funds to elect new progressive fighters and get ALL of our current representatives re-elected. ANY amount will help.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express,

your donation will go through immediately:

 
These last few weeks we’ve seen just how important it is to have bold, progressive leadership in Congress. While the White House took weeks to respond to the Supreme Court’s overturning Roe, and what they did fell far short of what we need, BNC representatives like AOC and Cori Bush are leading the way with a clear plan of action and organizing.
 
We need more clear leadership in Congress, and we can’t risk losing any of the ground we’ve already gained.
 
As we organize for victory these next few weeks, this is a critical time to give.
 
Your contributions today will help us re-elect our BNC representatives, the people fighting hardest for all of us in Congress. Right now we are $6,173 short of our mid-month fundraising target, and we have to close that gap before midnight tomorrow. Can you pitch in now to catch us up?
 
Dark money groups are coming hard after progressive candidates this cycle. One group has pledged to spend a million dollars against Rashida. Others are lining up to remove Cori Bush.
 
We know they’re ready to spend big to defeat our people. But we also know big money can be defeated by big organizing, and that’s what makes your support so vital.
 
We need you now more than ever. Thank you for considering a contribution today.
