Our 2024 strategy

Will you share your input with us? John, In December, we launched our 2024 Candidate Recruitment and have been accepting nominations from across the country. Last cycle, we recruited Summer Lee to run and stood by her campaign from launch to victory. Our next slate will challenge the polit…

We’re with Ilhan.

John, Republicans kicking Ilhan Omar off of the Foreign Affairs Committee is nothing short of racist, Islamophobic hypocrisy. It’s also a clear attempt to silence an outspoken critic of human rights abuses and oppressive regimes worldwide. Let us be clear: We unequivocally stand with Ilhan a…

Hakeem Jeffries’ lackluster response

Hakeem Jeffries — the leader of the Democratic caucus in Congress — hardly defended Ilhan Omar yesterday. John, we can barely believe this: Hakeem Jeffries — the leader of the Democratic caucus in Congress — hardly defended Ilhan Omar yesterday while she’s enduring Islamophobic and racist at…

I was just removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee

Kevin McCarthy kept his word, John. After 4 proud years of service, I was just removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I want to be perfectly clear: This political stunt is a personal one — the result of years of xenophobic, Islamophobic, and racist attacks that started the moment …

Our fight for justice does not begin or end with a committee assignment

Kevin McCarthy kept his word, John. After 4 proud years of service, I was just removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I want to be perfectly clear: This political stunt is a personal one — the result of years of xenophobic, Islamophobic, and racist attacks that started the moment …

What you can do to support Tyre Nichols’ family

John, The cold-blooded killing of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers is a devastating reminder of how broken this injustice system is. Like Summer Lee recently said, “it’s painful every single time,” because Tyre’s life mattered, and this never should have happened. Video footage, train…

$78,552 is the exact amount we need to raise this month. Will you chip in?

John, First: Our own fundraising has been steadily declining over the last year and it’s unsustainable for our organization — if things don’t turn around soon we’re going to have to look at budget cuts. Then: Axios just reported that ‘Moderate PAC’ is planning on raising $20 million to stop …

We couldn’t do any of this without you, John.

John, Tomorrow, we’ll reach the end of the month — and our first fundraising milestone of 2023. Every month, we set fundraising goals that together make up our budget for the entire year. That means it’s crucial we hit every single one. Right now, we’re 66% of the way to our goal for January…

This is why we’re here to change the Democratic Party

John, President Biden has appointed a new Chief of Staff — and honestly, he couldn’t be worse. Establishment Democrats have applauded his work and glorified his results despite his role in corrupt practices for many years. This is exactly why we’re here — to challenge and change the Democrat…

Why did a GOP mega donor give $1 million to the Moderate PAC?

John, have you seen this headline from The Intercept? A GOP mega-donor and 🤑billionaire🤑 gave Moderate PAC $1,000,000 to stop us from recruiting the next slate of progressive primary challengers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Summer Lee. 😱 So now we’re officially sounding the alarm. 🚨 Joh…

Kevin McCarthy

McCarthy has already made good on two of his promises to his right-wing allies and corporate donors, and I'm his next target. John — it's officially happened. Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans have removed both Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell from their House Intelligence Commi…

This is the problem with money in politics

John, Let’s talk about billionaire Jeffrey Yass. Yass has a notorious history of funding Republican election-denying extremists, evading up to $1 billion in federal taxes, and crediting the pandemic with his record profits in recent years. He’s set up sham PACs just to buy candidates off. Th…

We have a problem.

Why is a GOP-mega donor supporting moderate Democrats? John, we have a problem. The Moderate PAC — yes, that’s their real name — is planning on raising $20 million to spend against us, our movement, and our candidates. They got $1,000,000 from a billionaire and GOP mega-donor. Why is a GOP-me…

We need your help to fight back against the Moderate PAC

John, this is really important. The Moderate PAC, a PAC focused on protecting entrenched, establishment incumbents who uphold the unfair status quo, plans on raising $20 million against us. From Axios: “Why it matters: The PAC is looking to scare off progressive groups like Justice Democrats…

Special interests shouldn’t buy elections

John, Here at JD, we believe that our elections and campaigns should be powered by the people, not dark money groups and special interests. We’re a grassroots movement funded by supporters like you — because we refuse to be beholden to corporations. We will never accept a single cent of corp…

It’s time to ban congressional stock trading

John, 63% of ALL voters support banning members of Congress from trading stocks. Do you? Corporate Democrats killed our chance to pass a ban on congressional stock trading last year, even though they held the majority. Our take is simple: it’s time to ban members of Congress from unfairly pr…

Nancy Pelosi sold millions of dollars worth of stocks.

John, According to the non-profit OpenSecrets, as of 2018 Nancy Pelosi had a net worth of $114,662,521 — it’s absolutely shameful for an elected official to have that much wealth — and just shows that she’s completely out of touch with the vast majority of Americans. Then, just a few days ag…

$8,000 before midnight tonight

Hi, John. It’s a Sunday, so I’ll try to keep this short and get right to the point. Our January fundraising has been slower than we expected and in order to make up for it, we need to reach $8,000 raised through our email program before midnight tonight — the midpoint of the month. We’re …

I don’t usually work on the weekends...

Hi John, It’s Julia, JD’s finance director. This morning, I poured a cup of coffee and sat down with our fundraising numbers for the month. I don’t usually work on the weekends, but this is really important. We had a slow start to the month and now we need to raise $8,000 from emails just li…

Hi, John! It’s Geoff again. Just a few weeks ago we launched our 2024 Candidate Recruitment. We’ve been receiving nominations from across the country and are doing intensive data analysis to determine which districts to target and where to focus our resources. But here’s the problem we’re ha…

Sign On: Expel George Santos

John, we need to talk about George Santos — the new Republican Representative for New York’s third district. He lied his way to Congress by fabricating his experience and background to voters. Since then, he’s also been spotted flashing a white supremacist hand-signal on the House floor. Geo…

What we do with your donation

John, Justice Democrats isn’t like most other political organizations. From the very start in 2016, we were a scrappy group funded by people just like you. We’re still funded by people just like you. Our fundraising pales in comparison to the scale of work we do — searching for, recruiting, …

AIPAC, crypto, and billionaires

Crunching the numbers

John, We wanted to make sure you saw our email earlier today from our finance director. We’re facing our end-of-year deadline in just a few hours and whether or not we’re able to fully fund our 2023 budget depends on if we’re able to reach our $75,000 end-of-year goal. Please make a contrib…

Keeping track of the numbers

John, this wasn’t the email I had hoped to send to you today. It’s my job to keep track of Justice Democrats' fundraising and make sure we raise enough each month to cover our costs and plan for the long-term. But, I have some tough news, this year we raised 17.3% less over ActBlue than in 2…

What it took to defeat a 31-year entrenched incumbent.

Hi John, it’s Jamaal Bowman here. Congressman for NY-16. Justice Democrats was there for my campaign from the very beginning. In fact, they recruited me to run for Congress in the first place. Together we took on and defeated a 31-year entrenched incumbent in New York’s 16th District. No oth…

The DCCC

John, this is important: The DCCC has a new leader: Rep. DelBene. She is the former head of the ‘New Dems’ — a centrist and right-winged group: The DCCC recruits and backs corporate-backed candidates who will serve the establishment in Congress and toe the Party line. This isn’t surprising. …
