John,

I’ll get straight to the point. We urgently need your support to combat
attacks escalating from a right-wing bully funded by Republican
billionaires. This bully supported over 100 MAGA Republicans who voted to
finish the coup attempted by a mob of armed white supremacists and
neonazis on January 6 on behalf of Trump – a man who last night literally
accused “Liberal Jews” of voting to “Destroy America,” spewing one of the
most vile antisemitic tropes to attack Jewish Americans on Rosh Hashanah.

That right-wing bully is AIPAC. And they’ve already vowed to take me down
with millions of dollars in attacks funded by Republican billionaires who
are terrified of young, Progressive, Working Class Black women like me—
but happy to give millions to pro-insurrection MAGA candidates.

You might not remember, but this is the same group that shamelessly
fundraised from Republican mega-donors and deployed $5 million to sling
baseless, divisive, and yes—racist lies about me. They went so low as to
label me a Trump supporter collaborating with Marjorie Taylor Greene on
countless ads and mailers filled with lies just to deter Black voters.

Now, they've set their sights on me again, just as we're launching our
re-election campaign, because they’re scared of our people-powered
movement that elected me to stand up for the powerless. Their attacks are
an imminent threat to our democracy and the movement that you've done so
much to help me build.

[ [link removed] ]John, here's my ask: Can you chip in and become a Founding
Donor to my campaign to counteract their onslaught? For those who
contribute, we will honor your support by featuring your name on our
"Signatures in Solidarity" wall. This is not just a campaign; it’s a
grassroots movement, and your support will go a long way in our fight for
the future!

The reason behind AIPAC's attacks is their fear of anyone who challenges
their far-right agenda. They know I’m in congress to stand up for folks
who never felt like they had a voice and to amplify the voices of Black,
Brown, poor, and marginalized communities that have been ignored for far
too long by politicians in Washington. The only real threat I pose is to
their power-hungry, billionaire Republican backers' goal of keeping those
who wish to keep progressive, working-class Black women like me in check. 

Just last year, they went so far as to lobby my future Democratic
colleagues to distance themselves from me, in a vain attempt to prevent
the first Black Congresswoman from representing Pennsylvania from taking
her rightful seat. They see the progressive momentum we’ve created—for
environmental justice, workers' rights, unions, criminal legal reform, and
a reflective democracy—as a direct threat to their right-wing agenda.

AIPAC says they stand for one thing, yet their continued endorsements and
support of MAGA Republicans steeped in bigotry, white supremacy, and
antisemitism tell a whole different story.

[ [link removed] ]They've already initiated their smear campaign against me—a full year
ahead of the elections and we need all the help we can get! Will you help
us out in a HUGE way by contributing $5 or more today? Your
donation will empower us to continue fighting for racial justice, workers’
rights, environmental sustainability, and all the issues we care so much
about!

Together, we can rise above these ridiculous attacks and focus on what
really matters: building our multi-racial, multi-generational movement for
bold progressive change and a brighter future for those who have been
silenced for far too long.

Your unwavering support means the world to me.

Always in this fight with you,
Summer Lee
