Hey John,

 

In case you missed it, Brand New Congress was recently featured in an article by Elvina Nawaguna of Business Insider about our movement to elect a new generation of civil rights leaders – and the obstacles we face when challenging the incumbent protection machine.

A graphic featuring a headline from Business Insider which reads “Young Black activists are done waiting their turn for political office” along with the journalist’s name Elvina Nawaguna. Included is an illustration that shows a young Black woman standing at a lectern in the shadows while a spotlight shines on an older Black male politician who is being showered with confetti.

Our own Adrienne Bell was interviewed for this piece to share her thoughts as a former candidate who now works to help elect young Black and Latino activists to lead the fight for a new civil rights era.

A graphic featuring a quote from Adrienne Bell, Executive Director of Brand New Congress. The quote reads: “People get attached to their own power, and you wonder why, if you’ve been in Congress for 30, 40 years, why are you still there? They really need to be doing some soul-searching.” Included is a photo of Adrienne smiling and wearing a blue shirt.

 

In the few short years we’ve been around, Brand New Congress has helped elect some of the most consequential new leaders of our generation – people like Cori Bush and AOC, whom we recruited to run for office, as well as Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick.

 

This November we can DOUBLE the progress we’ve made by electing the BNC slate. We’ve got bold progressives running to fill open seats, flip red seats, and oust entrenched, corporate incumbents.

 

But it does take money to help our candidates win, and right now we’re still $3,814 shy of our end-of-quarter goal. Can you pitch in $50, $100, or any amount today to help us close the gap?

Power concedes nothing without demand. The systems we have to challenge to stop the climate crisis, end racial injustice, radically reform our criminal legal system, and invest in the prosperity of working people will not give up their power easily.

 

But we ARE making progress. The gains we’ve made this year alone in Congress would never have been possible without our movement making clear, forceful demands – and sending the leaders we need to Washington to get the job done.

 

We need your help to keep pushing. If Republicans are allowed to retake control in November all the progress we have made will be washed out – and every progressive priority will be set back for a generation.

 

We’ve got less than 40 days until the general election. We can either radically shift the balance of power in Congress by electing the BNC slate, or we can concede our progress to the corporate political establishment.

 

We’ve made our choice. We’re staying in the fight. Are you with us?

 

In solidarity,

 

Brand New Congress

 

 

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal and electing bold progressive fighters. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020. With seven BNC Reps currently in office, we are growing progressive power in Congress.

This November we’re working to flip multiple red seats, fill open seats with bold progressives, and elect our first BNC Senator by defeating Rand Paul.

Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
