John, remember this?
Last cycle, Summer faced tens of millions of dollars in attacks from super PACs including AIPAC — a right-wing lobby that backed over 100 insurrectionist Republicans. Summer was one of the only progressive Democrats to defeat AIPAC — thanks to *this* movement.
Because of grassroots supporters like you, our people-powered movement went toe-to-toe with one of the largest super PACs and proved that the people have the power. But AIPAC is going to continue spending to defeat progressives like Summer, so we can't let our guard down.
We're setting a mid-month fundraising goal to hit 500 contributions from emails like this one by midnight tomorrow so we can keep up our momentum and take on AIPAC. John, can we count on seeing your name in ActBlue? Rush a $5 donation now.
As Alexandra Rojas and Waleed Shahid of Justice Democrats said in a recent op-ed in The Nation, if AIPAC is going to spend millions of dollars on misleading attack ads aimed at progressive Democrats, we have to learn to fight back.
AIPAC knows they are losing the battle for future voters. That's why they're turning to misinformation — and we're turning to organizing. We know that no amount of money can defeat a well-run, community-driven campaign focused on the issues important to everyday people.
But in order to keep up our community organizing, we must increase our off-year fundraising. That's why it's so important we hit our 500 grassroots contributions goal before tomorrow's deadline.
Thank you,
Team Summer Lee
