Blad, Bowman, John, and me

We are thrilled to announce our next Congressional endorsements: Jamaal Bowman (NY-16) and Alex Morse (MA-1). Both Bowman and Morse are up against deep-pocketed incumbents and will need our people power to help them win. Dear John, Last week, our movement celebrated the stunning victory…

It's time to demand better

Write to Congress and demand a swift, inclusive bailout, by and for the people. Dear John, Let’s make something clear: this pandemic did not start a crisis—it amplified one. Working people all over the country have gone unprotected for decades. A lack of necessities like sick …

Living in a historic moment

To move forward, we need to revamp our movement, and we need to start now. Dear John, I can’t remember a more difficult moment for our movement or our country, or a more difficult message to write. Everything about our world has changed dramatically, and it needs to be address…

Sign this petition

Instead of preparing the people of our country for a disastrous health pandemic, Burr downplayed the impending crisis and instead used that information to protect his own profits. Dear John, This is an outrage. As my state of North Carolina faces the harsh reality of the destr…

The fight continues

Dear John, On a day like today, it’s easy to succumb to doubt. Coronavirus is spreading. Declining oil prices are inching our economy toward collapse. Yesterday’s election didn’t secure Bernie the delegates we hoped it would. But remember our mission: The Green New Deal. Comba…

We're still gonna win

Dear John, This movement knows Biden doesn’t speak for us. He dismisses our concerns, talks down to us, and has even gotten physically aggressive. To defeat Trump and win a Green New Deal, we need a candidate like Bernie Sanders, who embraces the multi-racial, working-class p…

Together, we win

We only have 3 days

We need a champion who advocates for workers, racial justice, and democracy, while denouncing fossil fuels — that’s not Michael Bloomberg. Dear John, I’ll be blunt. We’re not going to get the Green New Deal we need with Bloomberg as president. We need a champion who advocates…

No wine caves here

Hey, John, If there’s one thing about this movement we’re most proud of, it’s that it’s powered by people. But candidates like Pete Buttigieg are threatened by grassroots movements like ours, because—unlike him—we can be loud and proud about the countless individuals who put …

The Green New Deal just won in NH. Now, let’s win in Texas.
