John,
Yesterday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib joined several progressive Members of Congress in boycotting the Israeli President’s address to Congress, protesting a government that systematically violates Palestinians’ human rights.
Because of her leadership in support of Palestinians’ human rights, GOP leaders and others have denounced Rashida this week. She’s had to defend the very humanity of Palestinians like her grandmother.
As the only Palestinian American in Congress, Rashida is defending human rights for all people, with no exceptions. Can you donate today to have Rashida’s back as she faces attacks for her leadership on Palestinian freedom?
It shouldn’t be bold to speak out against arming oppressors or funding apartheid. When violence occurs at the hand of the state against marginalized communities anywhere, our political leaders should speak up.
But Democrats and Republicans alike keep policing women of color in Congress who dare to speak the truth about Israel’s apartheid regime, including policing Rashida.
They’re out of line with the views of the American people, as polls continue to show a growing shift in support of Palestinian rights and against our government’s unconditional funding of Israel’s human rights abuses.
As U.S. legislators ignore their base and try to silence legitimate criticism of the Israeli government’s racist and oppressive policies, Rashida’s bold voice and leadership are more necessary in Congress now than ever.
