Taking a moment to explain, John.

John, As we get closer to Election Day, we know that you’re probably getting several emails a day from different candidates and organizations. But let us take a moment to explain why you should chip in to JD in response to this email today. Revenue from our email program is a major source fo…

Let’s grow our bloc in Congress this November

John, 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 won their primaries. Every Justice Democrat is up for re-election this November — in exactly 50 days. We’re laser focused on making sure every s…

Dark money shouldn’t decide our elections

The DNC is allowing corporate-funded super PACs to decide our primaries and stack the odds against grassroots candidates. John, The DNC recently had the chance to vote on whether or not to ban billionaire-funded super PACs from Democratic primaries. And instead of taking the opportunity to r…

Just barely missed our goal

John, this isn’t the email we had hoped to send you today. We just barely missed our $10,000 mid-month fundraising goal. But, the good news is that if one in three folks who read this email today each chip in $3 then we can make up for this shortfall. Look, we don’t have tens of millions of …

This is why electing progressives is so important

John, On Tuesday, Republican Senator Lindsay Graham, against the majority of American’s wishes, proposed a national ban on abortion after 15 weeks. Democratic Party leadership needs to stand up for our reproductive rights and that’s why it is worrying that, this year, Nancy Pelosi campaign…

It can’t all be done down the stretch

If we want to grow the Squad, we need your help right now. Nearly 90% of Congressional races are won by the candidate who spends more money. It’s a tough reality, John, but it’s what we’re up against. We’ve won races with less money, though, like when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat a high-rank…

Already behind

John, our fundraising numbers haven’t been where we need them all this year. Last month, our fundraising dropped — again. Our month to month fundraising has dropped 6 times this year. And we’re already 7% behind last month’s total. Not only that, we’re 13.9% behind our fundraising pace from …

Big DNC vote CANCELED

They didn't even give it a chance. John, The DNC was scheduled to vote this week on whether or not to ban billionaire-funded super PACs from Democratic primaries. But the DNC shut it down — the measure to stop the barrage of attacks against progressives won’t even get a vote. It’s not even …

We cannot give up the fight

John, here’s the truth: The political system is designed to discourage regular folks from running for Congress. If you don’t have a network of wealthy supporters or the ability to self-fund your campaign, it is extremely difficult to run and win — especially against an entrenched incumbent. …

Bernie’s campaign

John, did you know that our organization was inspired by Bernie Sanders’ 2016 run for President? After the campaign ended, 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 t…

FWD - This is not the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund

It's simple, but it's a big thing to overcome. John, it’s simple — we can’t raise millions with ease like Nancy Pelosi. The DCCC can hold a few dinners with corporate lobbyists and raise what we do in an entire year. We’ll never sacrifice our values for big checks from Big Pharma, Big Oil, or…

Big DNC vote

The choice is clear, but what will the DNC do? John, Next week, the DNC will vote on whether or not to ban billionaire-funded super PACs from Democratic primaries — super PACs like AIPAC's "United Democracy Project" that spent over $3 million on attack ads targeting Justice Democrat Summer …

AOC, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman

John, We have just over two months until Election Day — members of the Squad are going up against extremist Republican opponents and we need the resources to help make sure every member of the Squad wins re-election. We’re using everything we can to re-elect the Squad, help new leaders like…

Your boss doesn’t want you to open this email

John, Happy Labor Day! Approval of workplace labor unions is up to 71% — the highest it's been since 1965. Over the past several decades, the cost of living has increased significantly while workers’ wages have remained relatively stagnant. While CEO’s compensation soars, most workers’ wages…

What the DCCC did after the Squad came to Congress

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) was scrambling so much to stop progressives that it created a Blacklist. John, here’s the story… Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated the 4th most powerful Democrat in the House. Corporate Democrats were reeling from their defeat. The Democr…

This is not the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund

We're concerned about our fundraising, John. John, While the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has brought in $100,000 checks and million dollar transfers from the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund this year to support their corporate candidates, Justice Democrats has raised money …

Union busters and GOP lobbyists

First, the DCCC blocked progressives from the campaign resources they needed. John, Early in 2019, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) blacklisted vendors, staffers, and organizations that support primary challengers to Democratic incumbents — officially putting the inter…

A quick message for John.

John, we know it’s late so we’ll get right to it: So far this month, we’re down 16% on our online fundraising compared to July. Summer months are notoriously difficult for political fundraising but we can’t afford that kind of a dip right now. The work that we do takes a lot of time and r…

Justice Democrats is a big reason I won my primary

Corporate super PACs came with big money, but we defeated them. John, As a multiracial, multigenerational movement, we proved that a grassroots, people-powered campaign can defeat the millions in corporate super PAC money trying to take us down. In May, we defeated more than $5 million of c…

We must reverse the blacklist

John, There should be no place in the Democratic Party for union-busters, lobbyists for GOP tax loopholes, PR firms who try to hide sexual assault for their clients, nor consultants for Big Oil, Big Pharma, charter schools, and right-wing foreign policy hawks. Yet, the DNC, DSCC, DCCC, and…

The DCCC has raised $252.9 million this election cycle

The sky isn’t falling

John, we know it’s Saturday morning, so we’ll keep this short. Right now, we’re facing a 14% slowdown on our online fundraising compared to last month. Since we rely on grassroots contributions to fund our work, we pay really close attention to any dips that we have in contributions. But the…

Alexandra's message from last week

Slowly, we can turn this around. But we’ve gotta keep this momentum up. John, we wanted to make sure you saw Alexandra’s email from last week about our declining fundraising, and let you know that since that email, more than 1,000 grassroots donors have chipped in for an average of $20.97. An…

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…

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…
