JOHN,
When a majority in Congress voted to censure me last week, they tried to silence the majority of Americans who are demanding a ceasefire.
In a democracy, Congressmembers are supposed to represent the people who vote for them. But right now, only a few of us are brave enough to keep calling for a ceasefire and denouncing the Israeli government’s war crimes.
These leaders for peace include Rep. Cori Bush, who introduced the Ceasefire Now Resolution, and freshmen Reps. Summer Lee and Delia Ramirez, who continue to act with moral courage despite political risks.
Please support a ceasefire today by splitting an urgent donation between Reps. Cori Bush, Delia Ramirez, Summer Lee, and me.

Thank you. Every hour, every day there’s not a ceasefire, more innocent Palestinians and children are killed with U.S. support and U.S. tax dollars. We must act now.

JOHN,
This week, I met with veterans calling for a ceasefire. They spoke about what they saw serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. With tears and outrage, they’re coming together to say “Enough!” and calling for an end to the violence.
Our movement for a ceasefire is growing every single day.
Alongside me are morally courageous Democrats leading the ceasefire movement in Congress, who are aligned with the vast majority of Americans. At a time when most of our colleagues want to send $14 billion U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund the Israeli military’s massacres of Palestinians, our voices are desperately needed.
Please split a donation today to support me and brave leaders in Congress calling for a ceasefire: Reps. Cori Bush, Summer Lee, and Delia Ramirez.
As we met with veterans yesterday, Rep. Summer Lee called out how 99% of the Palestinians killed by the Israeli military in the past month were civilians.
Even though anti-Palestinian AIPAC spent millions of dollars trying to defeat Summer in her first election to Congress last year, she will not be intimidated and keeps speaking up for Palestinians’ humanity.
First-term Rep. Delia Ramirez is also continuing to hold Israel’s government accountable despite the political risks, saying: “I was sent here to fight for shared humanity. I was sent here to fight for peace and justice.”
Rep. Cori Bush, who introduced the Ceasefire Now Resolution, said: “I was sent to Congress to save lives. I was not sent to Congress to have my constituents’ tax dollars buy bombs to kill thousands of innocent Palestinians.”
We were all grassroots activists before running for Congress, and we’re still holding firm to our values—even when it makes us targets.
I’m proud to stand on the right side of history with Reps. Cori Bush, Delia Ramirez, and Summer Lee. Please chip in $5 or more today as we demand an urgent ceasefire to save lives.
