3. PCCC members helped EXPAND the Senate majority -- making Joe Manchin less relevant.

PCCC members donated nearly $1 million dollars through 49,000 donations to top Senate candidates! This included six-figure fundraising for John Fetterman (PA) and Raphael Warnock (GA).

Catherine Cortez-Masto (NV), who won the seat experts gave Republicans the best chance to flip, told PCCC members "I appreciate everything the PCCC has done for this campaign and for the hard-earned, grassroots dollars thousands of PCCC members have invested in this race."

What does a clear 51-seat majority mean? "That hurts Joe Manchin," reports NBC News!

And guess what? Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats now have subpoena power to reign in big corporations. Get ready!

4. We won key House primaries -- and helped elect a new wave of rising progressive stars!

PCCC members chipped in $314,000 to key House races via 35,900 donations. These new stars are already rocking Washington:

• Maxwell Frost (FL-10), the first Gen Z member of Congress and inspiring leader
• Greg Casar (TX-35), a brilliant labor organizer
• Delia Ramirez (IL-03), economic populist and the first Latina member of Congress from the Midwest
• Becca Balint (VT-AL), economic populist and Vermont’s first openly-gay member of Congress
• Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), who led a fearless effort to defend abortion rights in Texas
• Summer Lee (PA-12), who defeated AIPAC’s dishonest ads in both the primary and general election
• Andrea Salinas (OR-06), an economic populist who defeated a Crypto millionaire!

PCCC’s Meet The Candidate events allowed hundreds of PCCC members to ask these candidates questions. Sign up here to attend intimate Zooms with these members now that they are in Congress! And keep them independent by supporting their re-elections here!

Maxwell Frost: "The PCCC has been a big help to my campaign.”

Andrea Salinas: "I’m grateful for the PCCC’s help in one of the closest open districts in the country."

5. We got Jamie Raskin’s back every step of the way. This democracy hero said thank you!

"Raskin on PCCC member Zoom"

Rep. Raskin says, "The Progressive Change Campaign Committee was with me in my first race for Congress, and we are partners in fighting to defend our democracy and freedom today."

Throughout this year, we amplified Raskin’s work on the January 6 Committee exposing Trump’s crimes. Before hearings began, Raskin made news on our January 2022 Zoom with over 100,000 viewers where he predicted the Committee hearings would "blow the roof off the House." He was right!

(Congressman Raskin announced this week that he is beginning treatments for a serious but curable kind of cancer. Sign our "We love you, Jamie" card here and optionally add a personal note. We will deliver the signatures and messages to him.)

6. Your progressive lobbyists fought for student debt cancellation, climate legislation, help for children, banning insider trading by Congress, and taking on Big Tech monopolies.

P Street -- the progressive alternative to K Street -- is our lobbying arm in the halls of power. This year it focused on:

Student debt cancellation: We helped convene the White House and top student debt advocates to strongly encourage President Biden to go bold on student debt cancellation -- which he did! And young voters turned out in droves!

Climate legislation: For two years, we lobbied Congress and the White House to help keep the president’s economic and climate agenda on track -- beating back corporate Democrats who tried to sabotage the biggest climate bill in history! It passed! And it's funded by (finally) taxing billionaire corporations!

Renewing the Child Tax Credit: The expanded Child Tax Credit passed by Democrats in 2021 lifted half of kids out of poverty. Republicans let it expire, but we have been lobbying behind the scenes to line up support for reinstating it soon. We helped block normally routine end-of-year corporate tax advantages unless this Child Tax Credit passed too. Look for more on this in 2023!

Banning insider trading in Congress: Emma Lydon -- managing director of P Street -- led the coalition that brought many diverse members of Congress together (from Katie Porter to Abigail Spanberger) on this issue. We got very close, and will come back for more next year.

Taking on Big Tech monopolies: Key legislation to stop Amazon and Google from using monopoly power to favor their own products in the market place passed the Senate Judiciary Committee 16-6. For months, we lobbied to get it across the finish line. We got a down payment in the Omnibus bill that passed last week, and are coming back for more in 2023.

Corporate lobbyists are working against you every day. Can you help expand our effective progressive lobbying team, P Street? Click here.

7. We fought Joe Manchin & corporate Democrats who obstructed the Democratic agenda.

When the Democratic economic and climate agenda was obstructed by Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and corporate Democrats like Josh Gottheimer in the House, we took action to keep it alive.

We sent national mobilization emails from swing-district House Democrats making the case for our agenda -- heroes like Angie Craig (MN-2), Andy Kim (NJ-3), and Matt Cartwright (PA-8).

We helped them write op-eds, we lobbied congressional offices for months, and we put together a press conference with swing-district Democrats making the case for how investing in clean energy is good for American jobs and workers.

It took time, but we won! Historic climate legislation, lower-price prescriptions, and taxing billionaire corporations!

After the election, it was accountability time.

PCCC co-founder Adam Green penned an oped for NBC about how Manchin and other corporate Democrats handed Republicans the House of Representatives by delaying the Democratic economic agenda for a year and blocking a voting rights bill. He also made this case on C-SPAN's Washington Journal.

When Sen. Kyrsten Sinema recently switched from Democrat to Independent, PCCC co-founder Stephanie Taylor told media that Sinema has "no constituency in Arizona among Democratic, Republican, or Independent voters...She should join her friends on Wall Street in 2024, and Democrats should nominate someone truly on the side of the working class who can unite and win Arizona."

We are bold progressives!

8. Pop culture! Nearly 2 million views on our David Cross parody video helping Secretary of State races! Plus, an event with Don’t Look Up’s writers!

We produced a widely-shared parody video starring comedian David Cross that made voters laugh while learning that insurrectionists were running for Secretary of State to miscount our votes. We could tell you about it, but it’s easier to just watch it here!

Read Newsweek’s article with behind the scenes anecdotes entitled, "Tucker Carlson, GOP Trolled by Comedian David Cross in New PAC Video."

If you agree that people are sick of negative information, and want us to make more political comedy videos, please chip in here to fund this (fun) work.

Additionally, we were proud to host Oscar-nominated Don't Look Up writers David Sirota and Adam McKay, and Senator Elizabeth Warren, on a national Zoom with PCCC members. Over 55,000 people tuned in to think together about climate change. The LA Times did a full profile of the event, concluding: "We all need to vote -- and agitate -- as if our lives depended on it, because they do."

9. The PCCC helped elect 73 Progressive Champions to state and local offices across the country!

Our top-notch training program prepared more down ballot progressive candidates and campaign staff this year to run strong grassroots campaigns. We supplied many with our award winning PIES campaign software, endorsed many more, and 73 of our Progressive Champions won!

One example is Christina Stephenson, who attended our training and was elected this year to be Oregon's new Labor Commissioner. Christine will fight wage theft and discrimination. Wlnsvey Campos attended our training and just became Oregon's youngest-ever state senator! Nate Roberts, a construction worker and president of his AFL-CIO local, was just elected to the Idaho House of Representatives!

Learn more about our 2022 Champions here.

We can’t wait to see the bold moves they and others make pushing for progressive priorities in their communities.

10. After the fall of Roe, we led the campaign calling out the Supreme Court’s legitimacy crisis.

Starting in June 2022, the Progressive Change Institute started asking members of Congress to insert this line into their messaging: "This Supreme Court is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis." 200,000 people signed the PCCC's petition saying this.

As Business Insider reported, our efforts worked. Heavy hitters who used our messaging included new House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Jerry Nadler, Pramila Jayapal, Katie Porter, AOC, and Senators Elizabeth Warren, Chris Van Hollen, Alex Padilla, Ed Markey, Sheldon Whitehouse, and others.

The Progressive Change Institute collaborated with Demand Justice on polling to prove this idea was popular -- and we teamed up with UltraViolet, March For Our Lives, EverGreen, and the American Constitution Society to amplify this "legitimacy crisis" message.
