Hey John, this is
Summer Lee.
Justice Democrats and the progressive movement helped me defeat Republican
billionaires and win my primary last spring, just like in 2022 when we
took down AIPAC... twice.
But AIPAC and their corporate Super PAC allies dropped over $25 million —
more money than ever before — in my friends Jamaal Bowman’s and Cori
Bush’s primaries last year, unfortunately succeeding at ousting them from
Congress.
Our Squad may be two members smaller right now, but we can and will change
that with your help. [ [link removed] ]Justice Democrats is recruiting working-class
progressives to run for Congress — will you pitch in $5 or
more toward their 2026 Candidate Recruitment Fund?
AIPAC and its dark money super PAC funneled money from right-wing
billionaires and corporate interests into these Democratic primaries in
order to hurt our progressive movement — but it’s not just the Squad
that’s under threat: it’s our entire Party and democracy as we know it.
Working families and everyday people are constantly getting squeezed by
the same greedy corporations and billionaires that the Democratic
establishment has aligned themselves with and taken campaign contributions
from.
It’s simple: If we’re going to win more elections and pass the bold,
life-changing legislation that prioritizes people over profits, the
Democratic Party needs more working-class representation in the halls of
Congress.
I’m in the position I am today after Justice Democrats reached out to me
in 2021 and said folks in the community nominated me to run for Congress.
These people were grassroots organizers, union members, and everyday
people working to create a more just world. They also made up the
progressive coalition that helped me win my first race for Pennsylvania
state representative and every race since.
I grew up working-class in the Mon Valley and saw generations of
politicians ignore the working poor to serve wealthy elites. But every
election I have run in since 2018 proves: organized people can beat
organized money.
And when we win, we can deliver real results for our communities. In my
first term in Congress, I was able to secure over $2 billion in
investments in green energy jobs, housing, clean air & water, and lower
costs for Western Pennsylvania.
Every community in this country deserves that sort of investment and a
leader who will fight for it. That’s why we need more working-class
champions alongside me and the rest of the Squad in Congress to take on
corporate interests, challenge the Democratic Party’s status quo, and
fight to bring tangible change people can feel in our communities.
[ [link removed] ]Justice Democrats needs to raise $100,000 by February 1 to hire a new
staff member and build the resources needed to find and support as many
working-class congressional candidates as possible. Rush a contribution of
any amount now to help them get it done!

Thanks for powering our movement,

PS — [ [link removed] ]If you know of any local leaders in your community who you think
should run, nominate them here. That’s how I met Justice Democrats and
together, we helped build the grassroots movement to take on AIPAC and win
in 2022!
