John,

AIPAC endorsed more than 100 Republican candidates for office who threatened our democracy and voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election of Joe Biden on January 6.

They spent $4 million trying to defeat Summer Lee alone, and are already recruiting candidates this cycle to run against Justice Democrats Jamaal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, and once again Summer Lee.

So why is the Democratic Party continuing to partner with them?

This month, a number of Democrats, including House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries went on an AIPAC-funded trip to Israel, standing by right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite his violent efforts to further colonize the West Bank and displace Palestinians.

This trip directly contradicts our democratic values and commitment to human rights, and it’s being paid for by a group spending millions of dollars attacking fellow Democrats like Summer, Jamaal, and Ilhan.

It is a failure of Democratic leadership to continue working in any capacity with AIPAC. Every Democrat who went on this trip is endorsing AIPAC’s right-wing primary challenges to their colleagues, the over 100 Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election, and the Israeli government’s brutal apartheid regime.

AIPAC is funded by right-wing billionaires, while Justice Democrats is fueled by people like you. Help us continue to call out the Democratic establishment for partnering with this harmful group, and re-elect our progressive incumbents: chip in $3 or more today to support our work.

Contribute $3

With millions of dollars in their war chest, AIPAC can and will continue to attack those who call out their hypocrisy. It’s up to us to build the resources needed to fight back, defend our Justice Democrat incumbents, and elect even more bold progressives who will work to change the status quo.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
