The group, as Politico explains, intends to back Democrat candidates that represent "their diverse communities and support liberal policies like 'Medicare for all,' abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, implementing a 'Green New Deal' and rejecting corporate PAC donations," Politico explains. In other words, they want to imitate Ocasio-Cortez's defeat of incumbent Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley with more candidates running on her democratic socialist platform.
"Justice Democrats said it will prioritize women and diversity in its recruitment," Politico notes. "All four incoming House members who were backed by Justice Democrats are women of color: Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez."
