Will you sign AOC’s birthday card?

John, Today is AOC’s birthday! We want to send her a birthday card with thousands of electronic signatures. We are so proud to have recruited AOC to run for Congress in 2018 and want to show her how many people continue to support her. Will you take a moment to wish AOC a Happy Birthday and…

Higher wages for working people > lower taxes for corporations

Did you see Bernie’s tweet last week? John, After decades of stagnant wages and over two years of a debilitating pandemic, most workers are far from the living wages everyone deserves. It’s clear to us that high wages, high employment, and high union representation will transform life for w…

John, did you see this article from The Washington Post? Our work to transform the Democratic Party from the inside is paying off – this is proof our strategy is working. By working to recruit and elect progressive champions like AOC, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman we’ve influenced Democrats’…

We're taking our fight on the road. Will you be a part of it?

I'm reaching out for your help. John, We announced something I'm really proud of: we're taking our fight for reproductive freedom on the road from October 8-10. In the hours after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Missouri became the first state to ban abortion. So, we're joining with key partners …

A bad situation in TX-28

John, this will be a longer email, but it’s important so we hope you take a few minutes to read it all. The DCCC and establishment leaders have gotten themselves into a sticky situation in TX-28: The Democratic establishment went to bat for Henry Cuellar while he was facing an extremely com…

Dem leaders just blew our last chance

It’s really pretty simple. John, As of last year, Nancy Pelosi is estimated to have a net worth of $46,000,000. She is the 15th wealthiest member in all of Congress. And just a few days ago, she oversaw the process that ultimately killed the ban on stock trading for all members of Congress.…

We need more Justice Democrats in Congress

We built a people-powered campaign from the bottom up – and won. John, As the longtime principal of a public middle school in the Bronx, I saw real need in our community that wasn’t being addressed by our absent representative. That’s when Justice Democrats recruited me to run for Congress …

One final question, John.

John, We know it’s late so we’ll get right to the point… The DCCC raised over $15 million dollars last month. That is a whole lotta money to protect entrenched incumbents. We’re working every day to usher in a new generation of leadership by electing diverse, working-class candidates who ar…

John, what can we say?

John, we’re down to the wire to reach our goal before midnight tonight. What can we say to inspire you to make your first contribution to support our work? What if we told you the entire Squad, Odessa Kelly, Greg Casar, and Summer Lee have elections in November and we need your support to ma…

Just .8%

John, We just found out that the DCCC raised $15.4 million last month. That’s a whole lotta money to protect corporate-backed, entrenched incumbents who benefit from the status quo. Can you imagine what we could accomplish with $15 million dollars? We operate on a tiny fraction of the DCCC’s…

This $$ will expand the Squad

We need our people in Congress. John, We built this movement from the ground up because we truly believe in people power. Everything we do is based on our belief that our communities can overcome the odds and elect representatives who will actually fight for them. Leaders like Cori Bush, Aya…

“Justice Democrats have a 100% win rate”

We’re taking the movement to Congress

We’re electing a new generation of Justice Democrats. John, Justice Democrats all started with a dream: to build power for regular, working people and elect progressives to Congress who will fight for visionary policies at the scale we need. It’s easy to forget that a few years ago, there was…

58% of our goal

John, As we get closer to Election Day, our electoral and organizing work is kicking into overdrive. But even in this critical time, we operate very differently from most Democratic political organizations. We will never accept money from corporate PACs – we’re 100% powered by our grassroots…

Your supporter record for this quarter

John, Our end-of-quarter goal is just four days away, and we’re behind on the $125,000 we need to raise by Friday at midnight. Because we’re a grassroots-funded organization, every single donation — whether it’s $3 or $27 — makes a big difference. Here’s what we found next to your name in …

Our elections shouldn't be for sale.

John, we agree with Bernie Sanders. The DNC had the chance to vote on whether or not to ban billionaire-funded super PACs from Democratic primaries. But instead of taking the opportunity to stop right-wing Super PACs from spending millions against progressives, the DNC refused to even vote …

Do you remember the DCCC blacklist?

The Democratic establishment was scared when AOC won in 2018. John, do you remember the DCCC blacklist? After AOC defeated one of the most powerful, entrenched incumbents in Congress, the DCCC announced a new policy that would blacklist vendors who worked with candidates who ran primary campa…

Taking a moment to explain, John.

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 …

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

Union busters and GOP lobbyists

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…
