John,
Rashida Tlaib is facing disgusting attacks from Republicans for calling for a ceasefire from both the Israeli army and Hamas and mourning the loss of innocent Palestinians alongside Israelis.
Now, a Republican member of Congress just introduced a resolution to censure Rashida. Rashida is being targeted for one thing only: being the only Palestinian American member of Congress. While she is being attacked for centering the human rights of all innocent people, her family in Palestine is living through the horrors of the Israeli military’s violent retaliation.
We know that right-wing groups will spend heavily against Rashida this cycle and we need to make sure she has the resources to win re-election.
Rashida has taken courageous political stances time and time again, fighting for foreign policy based on shared humanity. But now she’s facing attacks for calling for peace and de-escalation—instead of being the drums of war like the Biden administration and Washington’s foreign policy establishment.
John, we need to come together to show Rashida that she is not alone in her just struggle for peace for all people.
Real people are caught in the crossfire of this devastating war. Congress depends on diverse voices and lived experience and Rashida brings her full life, history, and understanding of what's at stake for everyone.
We need Rashida’s voice in Congress.
Thank you so much for your solidarity,
Team JD
