Pamela, in early 2019, the Democratic Party's official congressional campaign arm (the DCCC) blacklisted consultants and vendors working with progressive primary challengers. Check out this quote about the DCCC blacklist from AOC's New York Times interview: "If you are the D.C.C.C., and you're hemorrhaging incumbent candidates to progressive insurgents, you would think that you may want to use some of those firms. But instead, we banned them. So the D.C.C.C. banned every single firm that is the best in the country at digital organizing." This is the DCCC's priority structure. It would rather protect corporate incumbents and prevent vendors from working with progressive candidates than allow House Democrats to work with some of the best campaign organizers in the country. The deck is stacked against diverse, working-class challengers. Justice Democrats exist as a counterbalance to this broken system and are fighting to transform the Democratic Party. Will you add your name to our petition calling for an end to the destructive DCCC blacklist? This is just the beginning. For years, corporate and moderate Democrats have refused to adhere to the advice of progressives, and have dedicated lopsided proportions of resources and time to blunt progressive momentum. That hurts all of us. Here's the reality of our future that corporate incumbents don't want to acknowledge. In the 2020 elections, every single swing seat Democrat who sponsored Medicare for All was reelected. 75% of swing seat Democrats who supported a Green New Deal were reelected. There is energy here, no matter how hard they try to deny it. We can already see the rumblings of another fight between corporate incumbents and progressives. And the DCCC blacklist hurts progressive challengers trying to win tough elections. Can you sign our petition to end the DCCC blacklist and help our progressive fight? In solidarity, Justice Democrats |
