This is why the Squad voted No



Justice Democrats

It’s happening again. Joe Manchin and corporate Democrats are failing to invest in clean energy and tax the rich.

Tweet from Washington Post journalist Jeff Stein that reads: BREAKING: Manchin tells Dem leaders that climate, tax hikes OUT of ever-shrinking economic package. Deficit reduction, prescription drug reform & ACA subsidies believed still in play

Again, we are left with an "ever-shrinking economic package." This is exactly why the Squad voted AGAINST Manchin and Gottheimer last year — to save Build Back Better.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley all urged Democrats to make sure Manchin couldn’t pass his bipartisan infrastructure bill last year WITHOUT also passing Build Back Better. But the Democratic Party establishment decided to trust Manchin and pass the infrastructure bill anyways. And now the core and moderate Biden-approved social, economic, and environmental policies that we desperately need are even further out of reach.

A Democratic Party that cannot tax the rich and make major investments in the fight on climate change is not a party for the people with a vision for the future. We must fight to transform the Party, protect the Squad, and expand our bloc of Justice Democrats in Congress to advance critical progressive policies.

Support our fight with a $10 contribution today so we can re-elect the Squad, expand our movement, and win the transformative action we need in America. 


Joe Manchin takes more fossil fuel campaign contributions than anyone else in D.C. It’s obvious why he’d want to stop legislation to fund a just transition away from oil and gas. Unfortunately, this isn’t just a problem with Joe Manchin.

Corporate Democrats all receive massive amounts of campaign money from corporations and Wall Street. They are all more willing to listen to the corporate lobbyists who care about profits than the people they’re supposed to represent. And that’s a big reason why Democrats passed Manchin’s bipartisan infrastructure bill, giving away all leverage over climate policy, taxing the rich, and a broad swath of social and economic measures for working people.

Justice Democrats in Congress are the leaders who will not give in to corporate lobbyists and who will always fight for the people.

Chip in $10 today to ensure we can build a movement ready to re-elect the Squad, elect even more Justice Democrats to Congress, and fundamentally change the Democratic Party. We rely 100% on your grassroots support to take on the corporate-backed establishment.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
