Y’all, we were completely unprepared to send this email. We set a $1,000,000 goal at the beginning of the month, and our incredible supporters absolutely crushed it — a full 24 hours before the deadline.
Our team is floored. The energy of this movement is at an all-time high, and that foreshadows a lot of great things for our future.
But energy is nothing without direct action. And while we don’t need your help right now, working-class progressive candidates across the country absolutely do.
So for the next 24 hours, ALL of our energy will be dedicated towards Courage to Change — AOC’s PAC to elect red-to-blue progressives and working-class leaders. Make an immediate impact by donating right now.
Here’s the situation: the DCCC is actively putting their hand on the scales in competitive primaries. They’re blacklisting consultants and vendors who work with progressive primary challengers, no matter who they’re primarying.
That means the DCCC is siding with pro-life, pro-Trump, pro-corporate Democrats over human rights lawyers, middle school teachers, and other progressive community leaders who will fight for working-class folks.
Listen: the last day of the month is always our BEST fundraising day. Putting 100% of those resources towards other candidates isn’t a decision we take lightly. But if we’re going to change the way Capitol Hill works, we need to take powerful, direct action.
I know this might feel like we’re jumping from one goal to the next, but hear us out here. When we’re up against an entrenched, corporate establishment, we can’t afford to take a break.
When we win, we have to take a moment to reflect, and then get right back to the real work of organizing to win elections. People are suffering out there, and the only way things’ll change is if we fight for it.
In solidarity,
Team AOC
