A roller coaster of events

John, we have some good news and bad news: First, on Thursday, we scaled back our July fundraising goal from $170,00 to $164,409. Then, supporters like you saw that we needed your help and stepped up in a big way and now we’ve reached our $164,409 goal. But here’s the bad news: we’re still s…

We don’t have much time left before this deadline

John, My primary election is in just four days and Justice Democrats only has until midnight tonight to reach their $164,409 end of month goal. When I ran for Congress in 2018, we didn’t have the support of the establishment and we didn’t have millions of dollars in the bank. But with su…

A look at our fundraising from our finance spreadsheets

John, Here’s a live look at our fundraising for this month and what we have to raise before midnight tomorrow in order to reach our $164,409 goal:Unlike the DCCC, we reject all contributions from corporate PACs. We also don’t have billionaire funders or millions of dollars in the bank. Eve…

Defeating Trump isn’t enough

John, This is really tough. News outlets are reporting that more than 1.43 million people filed for unemployment for the first time last week and our national GDP has fallen by 33%. We cannot afford four more years of a Trump presidency. But defeating Trump isn’t enough. We need more Democ…

We’re officially lowering our goal this month

John, At the beginning of each month we set specific fundraising goals to reach in order to support our candidates, pay our staff, run digital ads, organize volunteers, and more. This month, we aimed to raise $170,000. But after looking over the numbers these last few days, it’s become cle…

We’re so close to catching up, John

John, We’re so close to getting back on track to reaching our $170,000 July fundraising goal. We’re now just 4% behind where we should be at this point in the month. Here’s a screenshot from ActBlue from this morning of our numbers this month so far: We’re so close to getting back on track w…

My brother, Doug

Hey John, my name is Alex. I’m running against entrenched incumbent Richard Neal in MA-01. I’m proud to be a Justice Democrat. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to you, share a personal story, and then ask you to help me defeat Richard Neal in just 7 weeks. Earlier this year, we …

Down by 12%

John, we need your help. The DCCC just announced that they raised nearly $40 million last quarter. That is a whole lotta money at their disposal to support entrenched incumbents and maintain the status quo. Every day, we’re fighting against the DCCC’s blacklist that hurts progressive primary…

"I think that it's a very dangerous thing for party unity” - Eliot Engel on primaries

Over 70% of general elections in the United States are uncompetitive. That means the overwhelming majority of incumbents can get away with being out-of-touch, or out of line with the interests of their constituents, because their seat is safe. John, over 70% of congressional elections in the…

If just two people from xxxxxx take action, we’d blow past this critical goal

When we fall behind, there’s no list of corporate donors to bail us out. The DCCC might take that kind of money, but we don’t – because we know there’s strings attached. Justice Democrats are dedicated to fighting for one group: the working people of this country. John, here’s the situation…

Team Trump attacks Jamaal

From day one, Trump knew he couldn’t defeat policies like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, or an end to our system of mass incarceration and deportation on the merits. So his team has been spreading lies and falsehoods about what those policies actually mean. John, just a few hours ago, th…

Breaking news from the DCCC

For about the price of a cup of coffee

John, here’s the deal: Our fundraising this month so far isn’t on track to reach our $170,000 July goal. In July we’ve raised exactly $58,846 — at this point in the month in June, we had raised $73,275. We need your support to close the $14,445 gap as soon as possible, so we can continue to …

Eliot Engel can’t accept defeat

John, Eliot Engel just can’t accept the fact that he lost to Justice Democrat Jamaal Bowman in NY-16. Eliot Engel and his team have filed a lawsuit to challenge decisions about whether or not an absentee vote should count. Not only would this further delay counting every single absentee ba…
