Help fight the undemocratic DCCC blacklist



Just months ago, the official campaign arm of House Democrats (the DCCC) announced that they would blacklist anyone who worked on a primary challenger’s campaign. That’s made it much harder for progressive challengers to get the resources, staff, and tools they need to win.

It’s clear that we need our own support system on the progressive side of the party. That’s why we’ve worked so hard to raise nearly $300,000 for progressive candidates and causes this cycle. But we need to do a lot more, and in order to do so we need to grow this movement.



Can you chip in $3 now to help our campaign invest in growth? More resources means we can support more progressive candidates in 2020.

The DCCC is enforcing their anti-incumbent rules by requiring a “loyalty” pledge from the partners they work with. But what is that loyalty to? The values of the Democratic Party? Absolutely not.

It is only loyalty to incumbents — full stop. The DCCC has stamped down on progressive challengers while embracing partners and candidates that openly work with pro-gun, anti-choice, or corporate-friendly groups.

We cannot allow the DCCC to slam the door on candidates who challenge the status quo. That’s why we’re building the biggest possible support system for progressive candidates in 2020.

Our movement has helped challengers break through the establishment sabotage — can you chip in $3 now to help us do even more?



In solidarity,

Team AOC
