John,
Breaking news came out yesterday: AIPAC — a Republican-funded Super PAC that supported **109 insurrectionists** — has set its sights on a handful of Black and brown progressives, including our champion, Summer Lee. Their plan? To pour an unprecedented **$100 million** into defeating our progressive voices in Congress.
The stakes have never been higher: this isn't just a financial battle—it's a fight for the heart and soul of our democracy and that’s why we are urgently reaching out for help today! In this critical moment, every little bit helps. A $5 donation is a great start, $10 makes a bigger splash, and $100 or more could be an absolute game-changer for our movement!
From the jump, Summer Lee's journey has been marked by relentless opposition from right-wing billionaires. Last year, the same donors that funded Donald Trump and Dr. Oz poured millions into vicious attack ads against her, and now, AIPAC is actively seeking to undermine her re-election again by bankrolling her challenger with GOP dollars! The same money they used to back over 100 Jan. 6th insurrectionists.
We've seen AIPAC's influence grow since the last time they spent MILLIONS against Summer. Now, their ambitions have quadrupled for the 2024 elections, targeting not only Summer but also her allies like Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar, and Jamaal Bowman.
Why are they targeting Summer? It's simple: She stands for communities too often ignored by Washington. She represents the voice of the Black, brown, poor, and marginalized. Her commitment to policies like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal threatens those who prioritize corporate interests over people. And because she believes that Palestinians and Israelis deserve equal rights and freedoms.
The problem is reports have indicated a downturn in small-dollar donations, creating a significant gap in our defense fund and we must act now before it’s too late!
We know we will never be able to raise $100 million since we don’t dabble in Republican dark money, but our strength has always been in unity, perseverance, and having people like you behind us, John.
Remember, we've beat these folks before and we will do it again with your help! By coming together, we can protect the progress we've achieved and can continue fighting for the people who too often are left behind.
The truth is, we need you! Together, let’s send a message to AIPAC and all corporate, Republican Super PACs trying to stop our movement, that we will not back down. Can you donate $5 today to show the strength of our grassroots-powered campaign?
Together, we can defend our progress and continue building a future grounded in justice and equality. Let's stand with Summer Lee and show that our movement is stronger than any amount of money thrown against us.
Thank you for being a part of this,
Team Summer Lee
