This year is the midterms

It's no secret that when it comes to the fate of our democracy and collective future, there is much at stake this election year.

This is not just a pivotal time for our campaign, but for our progressive movement. If we want to continue making progress and advancing legislation that meets the scale and scope of the crises we face — we need even more strong, progressive leadership in Congress. 

That's why it's critical we elect those leaders this midterm election year, and why Jamaal's proud to have been the first federal member to endorse these leaders:

• Jessica Cisneros, House of Representatives, TX-28
• Greg Casar, House of Representatives, TX-35

Both of these leaders have primary elections coming up in just under three weeks — 20 days, to be exact. So let's make sure that our movement continues to grow — not just in New York's 16th, but everywhere. Will you chip in $10 or whatever you can and boost our collective movement? 

As Jamaal often says: Congress must work for the people, not the other way around. It's critical that we have more people in positions of power who can help manifest that within our society and government.

We need to elect people who are focused on fair wages, protecting working families, Medicare for All, reproductive rights, voting rights, immigration rights, and so much more. But we can't do it alone.

Both Jessica Cisneros and Greg Casar are up against entrenched establishment opponents who often put profits and special interests above the needs of their constituents. If we can boost support for their campaigns in these next twenty days before voters send in their ballots and head to the polls, we'll have the chance to see long-lasting progress, not just in Texas, but in similar communities all over the country.

Please, split a donation between Jessica Cisneros, Greg Casar, and Jamaal Bowman today — and let's continue growing our movement in the halls of Congress.

— Team Bowman

The newest Justice Democrat

 

We just announced our endorsement of Greg Casar in the Democratic primary for the 35th Congressional District in Texas (TX-35).

“Now more than ever, Texas needs progressive champions in Congress to defend against the state-level attacks on reproductive rights, voting rights, healthcare, and so much more.” — Alexandra Rojas, Executive Director of Justice Democrats

Join Justice Democrats today and donate directly to Greg Casar’s campaign. We can only add more Justice Democrats to Congress with your help.

As a member of the Austin City Council, Greg fought tirelessly on behalf of working people — leading on issues of labor rights, reproductive justice, civil rights, and more. He successfully raised wages for thousands of workers, ended all personal marijuana arrests in his city, and closed inexcusable tax loopholes for the wealthiest.

Greg is ready to join the fight for working people in Congress, but he needs your help. Early voting starts in less than two months, and we need to reach as many voters as possible before election day.

Justice Democrats don’t take a cent of corporate PAC money, which means your direct contribution to Greg’s campaign can make a huge difference. Can Greg count on you to chip in $5, $10, $27 — or whatever you can afford — today?

We can only do this together.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
