John, it’s simple — we can’t raise millions with ease like Nancy Pelosi. The DCCC can hold a few dinners with corporate lobbyists and raise what we do in an entire year.
We’ll never sacrifice our values for big checks from Big Pharma, Big Oil, or the big banks. We’re relying on your donations to help us elect more Justice Democrats and defeat this corporate Democratic Party. Our fundraising is down and we really need you to chip in right now — can you donate $3 to help us get back on track?

Subject: This is not the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund
John,
While the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has brought in $100,000 checks and million dollar transfers from the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund this year to support their corporate candidates, Justice Democrats has raised money from grassroots donors to support grassroots, progressive candidates.
We’re in a really tough fundraising spot right now, John. We always operate on a tight budget, using everything we can to re-elect the Squad, help new leaders like Summer Lee and Greg Casar defeat the establishment, and advocate for progressive change. But money is especially tight right now, and our fundraising over the next few months will determine how much we can invest in November and recruiting the next Summer Lee, AOC, or Cori Bush to run in 2024.
Our online fundraising has gone down almost every month this year. We’re 13.7% behind where we were at this point last year in our ActBlue. Up against the corporate-funded Democratic Party, this kind of fundraising won’t cut it.
The amount of grassroots dollars we can bring in directly impacts how many races we can invest in. Your contributions — whether it’s $5, $27 or $50 — will help us go bigger for 2024. Recruiting and running candidates is an 18-month process, at least. That means we’re planning for 2024 right now. All while we still have elections to win in November.
And the only checks we’ll see from Nancy Pelosi are donations to our opponents.
We’ve got a lot of work to do, John — and we can only do it with your help. Can you make a $3 donation to Justice Democrats right now. Help us grow the Squad and defeat the Democratic establishment in primaries.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
