This is too important

The success of our 2024 Candidate Recruitment depends on how well we fundraise now. John, Justice Democrats was formed in 2016 to change Congress by recruiting and electing a diverse slate of working people who share real-life experiences with the communities they represent. Since then, we’v…

We’re standing up to AIPAC

Justice Democrats are leading a generational shift in the Democratic Party. John, Earlier this week, we published an op-ed in The Nation directly calling out AIPAC and their unlimited spending against anyone who speaks up for Palestinians. Now, AIPAC is coming after us. John, will you make a …

AIPAC is coming after us

John, AIPAC is attacking us for speaking out about how they spend millions of dollars to go after progressive candidates who stand up for Palestinian human rights: 71% of Democratic voters said the United States should not give unconditional financial and military assistance to Israel if th…

Right-wing extremists are attacking abortion

Anti-abortion extremists are attempting to use the courts to ban abortion nationwide. John, Late last week, a GOP-appointed federal judge in Texas blocked the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a safe, effective, and essential medication for abortion care that has been in use for more than 20 ye…

Hakeem Jeffries

Our jaws just dropped. John, our jaws just dropped: Hakeem Jeffries — an entrenched member of the Democratic establishment and the current leader of the House — was recently a guest of a Republican operative and Nazi sympathizer. This is exactly why we can’t trust or count on politicians wh…

“What side are you on”

John — last night, two Black Democratic members of the Tennessee state House were expelled because they protested gun violence in the days after the recent mass shooting. Their white colleague who protested was not expelled. This is beyond outrageous. Summer Lee is speaking truth to power on…

We can’t continue to fall short of our fundraising goals

Add your name: Tell Joe Biden not to reinstate family detention.

John, President Biden isn’t on our side. He’s never been a progressive fighter, and he’s continuing to disappoint us. The New York Times recently reported that the Biden Administration is “considering reviving the practice of detaining migrant families” — this would be a huge betrayal to us …

John, First, in 2018, the DCCC blacklisted us for daring to challenge their authority on behalf of the people they’re supposed to represent. Then, in 2022, far-right groups like AIPAC drowned our candidates in millions for daring to speak up for Palestinian human rights. Now, the Moderate P…

John, do you know the story of the DCCC blacklist? In 2018, AOC defeated the 4th most powerful Democrat in the House. Corporate Democrats were reeling. The DCCC went to extreme lengths to stop progressives like AOC from ever winning again. The DCCC blacklisted any vendors, staffers, and orga…
