November 2016

John, It’s 2016. Bernie Sanders shocked the establishment and mounted a historic challenge for the Democratic nomination. And then — the Democratic establishment lost against Trump. It was clear that the party insiders and political machine could not be trusted to protect our democracy or f…

Transparency

John, We’re going to be fully transparent with you because we’re accountable to you as a grassroots organization. We’ve had a slow but steady decline in our fundraising over the last year. And since we just launched our 2024 Candidate Recruitment efforts, we really need to pick up on the pa…

Making sure you saw Bernie Sanders’ email

John, We need to make sure you saw Bernie Sanders’ email from Thursday! He announced the official launch of our 2024 Candidate Recruitment Campaign. Will you join Bernie Sanders in helping us find the next progressive fighters to join the Squad in Congress by making a contribution right now?…

It’s here!

John, Did you see? Our 2024 Candidate Recruitment is here! We’re ready to find the next generation of Justice Democrats to take on the establishment in 2024. AOC, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Summer Lee: every single win comes back to you and your steadfast support for our people-powered moveme…

Reaching out for the first time

John, My name is Geoff and I’m the Campaigns Director here at Justice Democrats. That means I oversee our whole operation for candidates, from recruitment, to launching their campaign, all the way through Election Day. Yesterday, we launched our 2024 Candidate Recruitment and you might be w…

Justice Democrats sent me to Congress

John, it’s Summer Lee here. I ran for Congress to represent the people of PA-12 and won. In less than a month, I will be making history as the first Black woman ever elected to Congress from Pennsylvania. I didn’t do it alone; Justice Democrats was by my side from day one of my campaign. Tog…

Not the email we planned

John, this wasn’t the email we had hoped to send you tonight. But as a grassroots powered organization we want to be really transparent with you. Based on this morning’s fundraising, we’re not on track to reach our $120,000 2024 Candidate Recruitment Goal. We don’t have billionaire bankrolle…

We’re going all in to find the next generation of Justice Democrats

John, Just hours ago, we launched our official Candidate Recruitment Fund for 2024 — this is a really big deal and the start of the next phase for our organization. Cycle after cycle, we’ve worked tirelessly to find, recruit, and prepare people-powered candidates to run for office and win. T…

Why this announcement is so important

John, did you see the news from Senator Bernie Sanders? We just launched our 2024 Candidate Recruitment Campaign. Since we launched JD after Bernie’s 2016 campaign just a few short years ago, we’ve gone up against the political establishment many times and won — but this work takes major res…

Billionaires bankrolling elections

John, We saw a lot this cycle. While we’re proud to send Greg Casar and Summer Lee to Congress, the reality is that several of our groundbreaking candidates were kept from joining the Squad by a relentless torrent of outside spending. Sam Bankman-Fried, a crypto-billionaire, poured tens of m…

An urgent call to action on Yemen

Please call (202) 224-3121 today to urge your Senator to vote YES the Yemen War Powers Resolution. John, we urgently need your help: The White House is urging Senators to vote against Bernie Sanders’ Yemen War Power Resolution. The vote is tonight so we need you to take a few moments of your…

The path to victory

John, Just over a month ago, history was made when our movement elected Justice Democrats Summer Lee and Greg Casar to Congress, where they’ll join the Squad and fight for working people every day. Now, it’s our job to make sure we can do it all over again — and we’re asking you to join us. …

No one else does what we do.

John, Money has always been our #1 obstacle. And the establishment has a seemingly endless supply of it. Since this is a grassroots funded organization, we don’t have billionaire donors or corporate PACs to fall back on when our fundraising slows down. No other organization in the progressiv…

Next Thursday: A very important announcement

The work doesn’t stop

John, As we gear up toward the end of the year, it’s incredibly important that we can reach the fundraising goals we set many months ago for 2022. The benchmarks we set are what allows us to continue recruiting and electing historic candidates cycle after cycle. We just successfully helped e…

Our unprecedented slowdown

If we don’t turn this around before the end of the year, we’re going to have to start looking at where to make budget cuts. John, After Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, a few staffers decided to continue the work to fight to elect progressives by launching Justice Democrats. For a…

AIPAC is openly taking cues from Trump’s playbook

John, From the moment we launched Justice Democrats in 2016, we’ve always been crystal clear on our mission: to recruit and elect a diverse slate of people-first progressives who will fight to make our government work for all of us. But since we have helped AOC, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Sum…

Where your donation goes

John, In just a few short years, Justice Democrats has ensured AOC, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, and Summer Lee won historic races, helped re-elect the Squad, and transformed progressive politics. Others write off our campaigns as impossible, but we know that’s not true — it’s just that the odd…

Getting really serious about AIPAC.

John, we have to talk about AIPAC and what they did this last election cycle. AIPAC — a group that claims to be bipartisan — showed everyone their true colors this year when they spent millions of dollars against Summer Lee, both in the primary election and in the general election when they …

RE: Summer Lee

Summer Lee

John, I wanted to personally reach out and give you a behind the scenes look into everything Justice Democrats did to recruit and support Summer Lee’s winning campaign. It all began in 2021, through statistical analysis we identified PA-12 as a target district for us to recruit a progressive…

What we’ve overcome with your support

John, With your support, we’ve overcome a lot this cycle. Despite millions of dollars spent by right-wing super PACs like AIPAC against us and our candidates — we helped every single member of the squad win re-election and we expanded our bloc by powering Summer Lee and Greg Casar to victory…

Not part of our original plan

We’re still fighting for our seat at the table

John, From Day One, we’ve been up against the political machine. In five years, we’ve challenged decades-long incumbents, Democratic leadership, and right-wing Super PACs — and we’ve won. In order to keep winning, we need to raise funds year-round to continue recruiting, training, and electi…

We can’t afford to fall behind now

John, In less than twelve hours November will come to a close. Until then, we’re working round the clock to raise the funds we need to carry us through the end of the year and into 2023. Soon, we’ll launch our rigorous candidate recruitment process — and start the search for the next generat…

Two supporters from 19125

$5 a month?

Hi John, First, I want to personally thank you for being a part of our movement to transform the Democratic Party from the inside out. Back in 2018, we recruited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for Congress and helped her campaign defeat an entrenched incumbent. Then we did the same thing wi…

Bernie & AOC are raising the alarm about AIPAC

John, this is serious. John, this is serious. BERNIE SANDERS: “This is a war for the future of the Democratic Party.” AOC: “AIPAC is working for Republican control of Congress and further destabilization of U.S. democracy.” They’re right. Now that Summer Lee has overcome all of AIPAC’s hatef…

It’s time to blacklist AIPAC

We have a problem. John, we have a problem. AIPAC dropped millions of dollars to ensure progressives lost primaries in key races this cycle. The only thing AIPAC cares about is suppressing any dissent against their extreme agenda — which is exactly why they endorsed 109 Republican election …

John, it’s Alexandra Rojas here. I want to make sure you know the status of Summer Lee’s race. This week, the far-right Super PAC AIPAC dropped over $1 million attacking Summer, spending on behalf of her Republican opponent. AIPAC wants to make an example out of Summer — if you’re young, pro…
