John,

Have you seen Rashida Tlaib’s email?

Yesterday, she wrote about our shared push for Black and Palestinian liberation in Congress.

I first started learning about the Israeli government’s human rights abuses against Palestinians while protesting police brutality in the Ferguson Uprising.

Palestinians in St. Louis showed up in support of Black lives. Protestors met with a Palestinian delegation who visited us and shared tips on how to defend ourselves from militarized police brutality.

I’m proud to work alongside Rashida, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, to end U.S. complicity in Israel’s human rights abuses and to redirect funding away from militarization and into our communities instead.

Can you split a donation today between my campaign and Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s campaign, so we can keep legislating for justice and dismantling systems of oppression from St. Louis to Detroit to Palestine?

With love,

Cori

John,

My sister in service Rep. Cori Bush has been a fierce advocate for Palestinian rights in Congress, helping to grow the momentum to end U.S. complicity in Israel’s human rights abuses.

Cori first saw the connections between Black and Palestinian struggles against state violence in 2014, when she met with a Palestinian delegation who visited Ferguson Uprising activists to share tips on how to defend themselves from militarized violence and tear gas.

Since then, she has been unafraid to speak the truth about Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians -- even when it makes her a target.

Please split a donation today between my campaign and Cori Bush’s campaign, to show her you have her back as she advocates for human rights in the U.S. and Palestine.

Like me, Cori Bush got her start in grassroots activism before running for public office.

As an activist in the movement for Black lives, Cori personally experienced brutal police violence and ongoing harassment by police. I’ve also witnessed and spoken out against violent police attacks on Black Lives Matter protesters in my district.

Unless we change the unjust status quo, my Black neighbors and my Palestinian family members will continue to face systemic racism and dehumanization.

In Congress, Cori and I have advocated against ever-growing spending on police and military budgets, all while our communities are struggling to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.

Instead of investing in institutions that harm and kill people, we’re calling for investments in communities, to ensure that everyone can thrive. I’m honored to work alongside Cori in Congress for Black and Palestinian liberation, and to build a world that truly values people’s safety and well-being.

Please chip in $5 or more today to support Cori Bush’s and my leadership in Congress to protect human rights in the U.S. and Palestine.
