Dear John,
Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib are two of the most consistent champions for Palestinian rights on Capitol Hill. Now, they’re being attacked for their bold stances—and we need to have their backs.
Time and time again, I have seen Rashida rise on the House floor to defend the basic humanity of her Palestinian community and family. Time and time again, I have seen Cori boldly and unapologetically condemn Israel’s apartheid government. I’ve been brought to tears seeing their bravery and solidarity.
It’s time to show up for Cori and Rashida. Will you split a donation between their campaigns today?
Recently, Cori and Rashida were part of a small group of progressives who opposed a horrible GOP resolution that denied Israeli apartheid and reaffirmed unconditional support for the government of Israel, despite its rapidly escalating violence against Palestinians. The next day, both congresswomen boycotted the speech of Israeli president Isaac Herzog, in protest of Israel’s racist policies.
Predictably, pro-apartheid groups like AIPAC have been coming for Cori and Rashida ever since. Especially as Jewish Americans, it’s crucial that we back our champions up as they face vicious smear campaigns from anti-Palestinian groups.
Now is the time to show up for the members of Congress who are calling for a true end to U.S. complicity in Israeli apartheid.
In solidarity,
Beth Miller Political Director, JVP Action PAC
P.S. Defend our champions—split a gift between Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib's campaigns now.
