John,
Last night, Republicans in the Tennessee House voted to expel
Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson for protesting against gun
violence after the Nashville school shooting. Their white colleague who
joined the protest was not expelled.
This is straight up fascism, y’all. That two Black men were expelled for
standing up against the murder of three children, but not their white
counterpart, says it all.

[ [link removed] ]@SummerForPA Two Black legislators were expelled from their duly
elected positions for "speaking out of turn,"
protesting children being gunned down in school, and
their white colleague who joined them was not!
It's right there in your face, and it's always been.

[ [link removed] ]John, we
have to stand together against GOP racism and fascism. Representatives
Jones and Pearson have my support. If they have yours, will you split a
contribution between our three campaigns now?

Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled for standing
up against the murder of children and the NRA. But once again, Republicans
want to put politics over the lives of the people they represent.
I will always say it how it is. Just as status quo white supremacy worked
to quickly remove Representatives Jones and Pearson from power, it also
presented itself in the racialized fearmongering we saw in attacks against
our campaign last year.
It took centuries — and a movement — to elect the first Black
Congresswoman to represent Pennsylvania. Now is the time to stand up and
fight back again before it's too late. Staying on the sidelines is not an
option.

But the progressive movement isn’t backing down. Support Justin Jones and
Justin Pearson by splitting a donation between my campaign and them now.
In solidarity,
Summer Lee
