Justice Democrats

Tell DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján to stop attacking progressive values.

Primary season is here and the official congressional campaign arm of the Democratic Party is starting to crack down on progressives.

  • Earlier this week, the DCCC went nuclear against progressive Laura Moser running for Congress in TX-07 almost a week before the highly contested Texas primary election.
  • Buzzfeed News featured a story about how DCCC has endorsed zero black candidates in their red-to-blue program
  • Then news broke in The Intercept showing that the DCCC advising candidates and party officials to not run on a Medicare For All, single-payer health care system
  • Finally the Huffington Post covered that the DCCC has been telling candidates not to “politicize” mass shootings and instead only to offer “thoughts and prayers” instead of common sense gun laws

Sign the petition to join Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, and CREDO as we call on Chairman of the DCCC Ben Ray Luján to stop attacking progressives. Democrats should fight for progressive values and offer a clear contrast to Trump and the Republican Party.
