Zoom out

It's about winning primaries, expanding the Squad, AND preparing for 2024. John, every donation we receive reverberates through our movement. We rely on small-dollar, grassroots donations — and it’s always been that way. When we helped Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez upend politics in 2018, we relie…

Will you help keep Jamaal’s ad on the air?

Jamaal’s deadline is midnight tonight. John, Jamaal Bowman’s primary election is next Tuesday and tonight is the deadline for his campaign to raise money to pay for his final TV ads before the election. Jamaal needs to raise $45,000 before midnight in order to keep his ads on the air throug…

$18.27, 6, 14%

We need to show you how important your donations are. John — together, we’ve shaken the political establishment since helping to elect the Squad in 2018. And we’ve truly only been able to do it because of your small-dollar donations. Our average donation this year is $18.27, far less than the…

Why we're the ones who will fight for the people

We’re not beholden to corporate PACs or billionaire right-wing donors. And we won’t ever back anti-choice candidates. John, since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been featuring abortion rights messaging in their election ads in Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and acr…

Hear me out

This is not a sustainable trend as we try to re-elect and expand the Squad. John, I’m writing to you today because things are getting tough at a critical time. Here’s the situation: Our fundraising has decreased nearly every month this year. Our fundraising is down 14% just this month. This…

Every fundraising goal matters

John, here’s the deal: 1) So far this year we’ve had some incredible wins: Summer Lee and Greg Casar both won their primary elections and Rashida, Cori, and Ilhan also recently won their primaries. 2) But, we’ve also had some tough losses this year: Jessica Cisneros and Kina Collins faced ma…

Why our fundraising is so important:

John, After Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, which shook the political establishment to its core, a few staffers decided to continue the work to fight to elect progressives by launching Justice Democrats. For a team with a small budget, we’ve had quite an impact in the last few y…

Did you see this headline in Rolling Stone?

Check this out, John. John, we’re expanding the Squad. The headline in Rolling Stone refers to progressives like Justice Democrats Summer Lee and Greg Casar. We helped them win primaries against corporate Democrats and are ready to send them to Congress in November. Summer says, "We’re here …

A few words on what happened in the Senate

Sinema and Manchin get what they want while core progressive policies are ignored. John, Senate Democrats passed a historic bill this weekend. It’s called the Inflation Reduction Act and it will take major steps to invest in clean energy, cut carbon emissions, tax corporations and the rich…

“If I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care”

John, do you remember Eliot Engel? During the 2020 primary election, he was caught on tape saying “If I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care” in regards to a call for peaceful protests in New York. Jamaal Bowman defeated Eliot Engel despite being endorsed by Nancy Pelosi, and having massiv…

What we did together led to last night’s amazing results for Cori and Rashida. We showed corporate Democrats what we’re about. John, these were resounding victories. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib won big against corporate Democrats last night. Cori received a whopping 70% of the vote and Rashid…

Pelosi's choice just introduced extreme anti-worker legislation

Cuellar’s bill would "effectively get rid of the minimum wage and overtime compensation." John, Speaker Nancy Pelosi helped conservative anti-abortion Democrat Henry Cuellar win his House primary against Justice Democrats in May. Now, Cuellar has a new bill with Republicans to eviscerate la…

Palestine

John, Just a few weeks ago, while President Biden visited Israel and occupied Palestine, the Israeli military continued to forcibly displace over 1,300 Palestinian residents of Masafer Yatta—including 500 children. Demolishing schools, homes, and tents, the military is seizing the land clai…

The truth about our fundraising

Cori’s opponent

Backed by the corporate Democrat that Cori defeated in 2020. John, with just days before her primary, Cori needs our help. This is what she’s up against: Her opponent loaned his own campaign a whopping $135,000, allowing him to run a blitz of TV ads in St. Louis A company tied to her opponent…

The DCCC is spending $425K on what??

It’s misguided, it’s wrong, and it’s dangerous. John, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is doing something dangerous. The DCCC is spending money in Republican primaries to support far-right Trump Republicans because corporate Democrats *think* they have a better chance of…

A crystal clear sign of undemocratic power

With this kind of unfettered spending in Democratic primaries, it will be difficult for progressives to win in the future. AIPAC, a political organization funded by right-wing foreign policy hawks and billionaires, spent millions against Justice Democrats this year in Democratic primaries. Bu…

Bernie's yuge endorsements

This is the momentum we needed heading into three big primaries. John, Bernie Sanders just endorsed Justice Democrats AOC, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Pramila Jayapal, and Ilhan Omar for re-election this year. That’s along with an earlier endorsement of another JD, Rashida Tlaib. Here’s why t…

An opponent who can gift himself $135,000

We can’t let a corporate Democrat backed by Wall Street who can loan his campaign $135,000 win this race. John, we just learned that Cori’s main corporate-backed opponent loaned his own campaign $135,000. That’s on top of all the corporate PAC and Wall Street donations he’s taken. Cori Bush’s…
