John,

This week, the House of Representatives passed a resolution denying Israel’s racist apartheid and reaffirming unconditional support of the Israeli government despite its increasing human rights abuses.

With Israel’s government escalating violence against Palestinians, this is a dangerous move at a time when we must urgently hold Israel’s leaders accountable.

For too long, Congress has been complicit in funding apartheid. But we’re building a movement of progressives who understand the crisis that Palestinians are facing, and who don’t look away.

Rep. Summer Lee was among the few Democrats to vote NO on this week’s resolution, saying: “We are not true allies if we cannot push our partners to uphold basic human rights & democratic values. I cannot vote for unconditional support of any nation-state.”

Summer Lee is standing up for human rights for all people, without exception. This takes political courage, especially as a freshman Member of Congress who faced $4 million in attacks from AIPAC’s network of PACs when running for Congress last year.

Can you split a donation today between my and Rep. Summer Lee’s re-election campaigns? Together, we will keep fighting for the rights of marginalized communities in the U.S and around the world, including in Palestine.

For her vote this week, Summer was targeted by GOP leaders and a Republican running in her congressional district. Democratic leaders also denounce women of color who dare to speak the truth about Israel’s human rights abuses.  

We need to keep Rep. Summer Lee in Congress and have her back as she faces attacks for staying true to our progressive values.

Like me, she ran for Congress after having spent years fighting for justice in her community as a grassroots organizer and state legislator. Now that she’s in office, Summer is prioritizing the needs of the people over corporate greed, fighting for environmental and racial justice.

Together, we’re taking on oppression in our communities and around the world. We will keep standing up for marginalized people, including Palestinians.

Please donate $5 or more today to support Rep. Summer Lee as she faces her first re-election campaign while continuing to take courageous stands for Palestinians’ human rights.

In solidarity,

Rashida
