Our slate

Challenging opponents with deep pockets and big campaign war chests will be no easy task. John, In the last several months, we’ve seen the impact of just a few progressives standing up for working people, and fighting corporate interests head-on. And we’re working to elect 5 new Justice Dem…

Tell Pres. Biden: Cancel Student Loan Debt

$1.8 trillion. John, More than 45 million people owing more than $1.8 trillion: That’s the student loan debt crisis in America. With one swipe of the pen, President Biden could cancel that debt and free a generation of people from the crushing burden of student loan debt. Unless Biden cance…

re: Anti-choice Democrats

The right is fighting to take away a person’s constitutional right to an abortion. We can’t have Democrats standing with them. John, As Supreme Court justices consider Mississippi’s restrictive abortion laws, the future of abortion access in this country remains uncertain. For years, conserv…

This primary

Why this can’t wait, John. John, Early voting for our first 2022 primary is less than 75 days away. Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros is taking on anti-abortion corporate Democrat Henry Cuellar in Texas’ 28th Congressional District. As soon as polls open and mail ballots arrive to voters in…

Cuellar's Big Oil campaign money

Jessica, a Green New Deal champion vs. Cuellar, Big Oil's best friend. It’s coming down to this, John. With less than 75 days until early voting starts in Jessica Cisneros’ primary election against Henry Cuellar, it’s all about climate change and Big Oil. This primary is clear: Jessica, a Gr…

Obstruction

John, Who stands in our way of securing paid family leave, an expanded child tax credit, climate action, housing, and more? Senators Manchin and Sinema, whose status as Senate holdouts have secured them an outsized role in determining the future of the Build Back Better Act. They’ve alread…

We're up against just about every corporate special interest in America

Here's a big reason why December is even more important than last month: John, We came up a little short on our November goal — can you chip in $3 to help us pick up our fundraising? Because we’re a grassroots organization, hitting our monthly goals is critical to keep up our work of suppor…

FWD - Wall Street and the Democratic Party

Final push. John, more than 300 people have stepped up today to help us close our fundraising gap before midnight. But we’re still behind. Can you chip in before midnight to ensure we hit our November fundraising goal and can keep our fight against the political establishment strong? Most …

$16.31

The DCCC has broken records this year. John, While the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has broken multiple fundraising records this year, we’re experiencing a period of slow fundraising. We’re $8,000 behind what we need to raise before midnight tonight to meet our Novembe…

Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress

John, Last week at a fundraiser, conspiracy theorist Lauren Boebert described a fictitious encounter with Ilhan Omar, in which she implied that Capitol Police mistook Ilhan as a terrorist. This isn’t the first time right-wing extremists have targeted Ilhan and the rest of the Squad with ha…

When it comes down to it, the establishment won’t fight for working people

John, Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is on Tuesday, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure we meet our $30,000 end-of-month goal by then. A lot has happened in this last month. Progressives fought the establishment to hold the line and win investments for working people. Th…

Kevin McCarthy and Corporate Dems

The political establishment would be fine with "normal" and "stopping the chaos." John, Corporate Dems listen to corporate lobbyists instead of the people. That’s the core of the problem, no matter how much establishment Democrats try to blame progressives for their election losses. Progres…

Just wanted to make sure you saw this

We hope you were able to take some time to be with friends and family this week, John. We just wanted to make sure you saw this message from our Executive Director, Alexandra Rojas. We’re so grateful for everything you’ve helped us accomplish this year, and for things that we’ll do together …

quick note

Our momentum is growing but it will take a mountain of continued support to win our primaries and build the progressive movement. John, I wanted to reach out before Thanksgiving and, well, say thanks. I’m grateful that we’ve had your support this year. Here’s just some of what you helped us…

Who is Danny Davis representing?

John, For too long, Congressman Danny Davis has been a representative for health insurance companies, the real estate industry, and big corporations instead of the people. So we weren’t surprised that Davis is the third-highest recipient of pro-business PAC money among Democrats in Congres…

After Kenosha

John, Last week, a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin failed to convict Kyle Rittenhouse in his murder trial. Rittenhouse killed two people and injured another with an AR-15 at a Black Lives Matter protest last summer after Jacob Blake was shot by police. His acquittal is an example of how our cri…

We need every dollar, call, door knock, and rally.

We’ve lost tight races before because support came in just too late. John, Early voting for our first 2022 primary will start in less than 90 days. Folks in TX-28, who we’re counting on to elect Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros and oust anti-abortion corporate Democrat Henry Cuellar, can a…

The extreme right is targeting the Squad again

If it weren’t for the Squad...

Progressives have never wielded this much power in Congress and used it to protect policies that will help the people and the environment. John, The Build Back Better Act just passed the House! Without our Justice Democrats fighting in Congress, progressive priorities would have been cut fr…

Bernie won’t support the military-industrial complex

John, For months, conservative Democrats and Republicans have voiced their concern about the deficit and national debt. They’ve argued the United States doesn’t have enough resources to expand Medicare, guarantee paid leave, and address the climate crisis. Yet, these same politicians are c…

re: What happened at the White House yesterday

Every day without action on the accompanying Build Back Better plan is lost momentum in the fight to secure critical investments for working people. John, Yesterday, President Biden officially signed the Republican-backed infrastructure bill into law and Democrats lost their biggest bargai…

This will be quick!

John, We just took a look at our ActBlue and realized we’re just $4,467 away from hitting our mid-month fundraising goal. Take a look: We need to hit our goals in order to fund our slate of progressive primary challengers — that means giving them the organizing, communications, staff, and…

The Democratic party is dysfunctional

Who we’re up against

Cuellar tried to sink the Build Back Better Plan

John, In 2020, Nancy Pelosi flew to South Texas to campaign for anti-choice corporate Democrat Henry Cuellar. Cuellar voted with Trump 70% of the time, yet Nancy Pelosi still endorsed him over Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros. Yesterday, Cuellar continued to serve his corporate donors by …

"No one elected him to be FDR"

There’s a reason both the GOP and corporate Democrats go after progressives. John, this happened right after corporate Democrats lost the Virginia Governor’s race: Corporate Democrats started blaming progressives for the GOP victory. When corporate Democrats lose, they blame progressives. Th…

Corporate Democrats love to blame progressives

John, Election Day was a tough blow for Democrats — most notably in Virginia, where former Governor Terry McAuliffe lost to Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin in a state that Joe Biden won by 10 points last November. Even before Election Day, centrist Democrats blamed dwindling poll numb…

The obstacle to change: Corporate Democrats

We MUST elect more Justice Democrats to Congress! Corporate Democrats are obstacles to progress, John. Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Henry Cuellar, Josh Gottheimer… the list goes on—they want to stop economic relief to the people and bold changes for our country. Yesterday, Joe Manchin said he…

2022 will be a winning year
