We couldn’t do this work without you.

John, we wanted to send you a short note of gratitude. Thank you for all of your support last year. Together we took on three entrenched incumbents and Jamaal, Marie, and Cori will be sworn in tomorrow. We’re in a fight for the soul of the Democratic Party — to transform it to represent regu…

Thank you, John.

John, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support this last year and ask you to make your first contribution before midnight. It’s because of your grassroots support that we’ve moved the needle and changed the conversation in Washington on so many important issues facing our cou…

Corporate Democrats don’t want you to open this email

John, we are getting so close to hitting our end-of-year fundraising goal. Just look: Corporate Democrats know that the more resources we have to run progressive primary challengers, the more they have to worry about losing their jobs and upsetting their big money donors. That’s why your gr…

Reporters will be on the lookout

John, We just launched our candidate recruitment efforts and with the DCCC’s blacklist still in place, we need an influx of resources to recruit and support another wave of progressive primary challengers. Reporters are already reaching out. They want to know if we think we can recruit the…

“A Fluke”

The political establishment once called our movement a “fluke.” Help us continue to prove the corporate wing of the Democratic Party wrong by contributing to Justice Democrats today. John, After AOC’s win in 2018, establishment media outlets and pundits called her win and our move…

Fighting for $2,000

AOC, Bernie, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush and other Justice Democrats are fighting for survival checks, because we fight for the people. John, nearly every Democrat in the U.S. House voted for $2,000 survival checks for the people. But you know who’s been at the forefront of advocating for $2,000…

Our budget breakdown

John, our work is 100% funded by grassroots contributions — people like you chipping in $5, $15, or even $50 at a time because they believe in the power of electing diverse, working-class champions like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman. We set ambitious but realistic fu…

COVID relief is falling short

Today, give to people directly, if you can. John, the new COVID relief bill fell way short of what the people needed. And, like the first one, it excluded so many people. A $600 relief check will not stop the eviction and hunger crises people are facing during this historic pandemic. Other so…

$600: ❌ $2,000: ✅

John, Last night, Donald Trump took a page out of the progressive playbook and demanded that Congress send him a bill to sign into law that includes $2,000 checks for every American. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib have an amendment that is ready to be voted on -- to increase th…

A record hostile to public schools

Biden appointed a deputy chief of staff with a record at odds with the core values of the Democratic Party. Update: Joe Biden is appointing deficit hawk Bruce Reed to be his deputy chief of staff. Why we care: Reed’s history of austerity politics don’t belong in a Democratic administration. R…

We can barely believe what Nancy Pelosi just said

“They are significant.” -Nancy Pelosi said today while talking about the $600 stimulus checks, John. This is a completely out-of-touch statement from someone who clearly does not understand that people are choosing between medical care, putting food on the table, and/or paying rent. We need …
