John – BNC representatives are getting the job done and making a BOLD impact on policy in Washington. Just imagine how much more we could do with twice as many progressive fighters in Congress?

We have the chance to do just that in November.

Our team spent the last few months taking a hard look at the races where progressives have the BEST opportunity to make a major impact in Congress next year.

We’ve made some big announcements since July, with Michelle Vallejo (TX-15), Becca Balint (VT-At Large), Katie Porter (CA-47), Maxwell Frost (FL-10) and Greg Casar (TX-35) all joining the slate.

And we have what may be our BIGGEST announcement yet coming next week.

There is no way to overstate the importance of this election: The work we do in the next 8 weeks has the potential to shape climate action, healthcare policy, criminal justice reform, labor rights, abortion rights, and voting rights for a generation.

If Republicans regain control of either the House or Senate, every progressive priority will be set back for decades.

But if Brand New Congress can help flip Republican seats and fill open seats with bold, progressive fighters, we can make some REAL change in Congress.

We can DOUBLE progressive power in Congress this November by sending true working class fighters to Washington, but it all comes down to the resources we have to support our candidates.

Right now we’re still $6,615 short of our mid month fundraising goal. If we don’t close that gap by midnight tonight and get our September goal back on track, it’s going to hurt our election strategy for the next 8 weeks.

Will you contribute $50, $100, or more today to help us catch up?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

We know you get a lot of emails from different organizations and campaigns. We get those panic-stricken, “sky is falling” messages, too – and we don’t like them any more than you do.

This is not one of those messages. This is real talk. We need to hit $12,500 raised by mid-month to execute our plans, and so far we only have $5,885 raised for September.

A lot of progressive organizations, just like working people, are feeling the pinch right now. We know times are tough for a lot of folks, and if you aren't able to contribute today, we understand and we are still so grateful for your support of our work.

Brand New Congress is a purely grassroots organization. We don’t take a dime from corporate PACs and there are no billionaires lining up at our door. Instead we depend on individual contributions from regular people, mostly made through emails like this one, to do our work. In fact, our average donation this month is just $15.44.

And we are able to do A LOT with a little. On our humble budget, we recruited and helped elect AOC, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman. We helped Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick win her special election primary by FIVE VOTES last year.

We’ve supported the reelection campaigns of bold progressive leaders like Rashida Tlaib and Katie Porter.

Now we have 7 MORE candidates (soon to be 8! stay tuned!) on the ballot in November.

• Five BNC candidates are running for open seats.
  
  
• Three are running to flip Republican seats.
  
  
• One is running to replace a corporate Democrat owned by Big Pharma.

This is an unprecedented opportunity to expand progressive power in Congress with unbought, unbossed representatives who will REALLY fight for reproductive justice, strong unions, universal healthcare, and climate action.

But we can’t do this without your support. Please join our fight with a contribution today to close this gap of $6,615. We promise, no amount is too small.

In solidarity,

The entire team at Brand New Congress
