John, check out this headline:
It’s the sad truth: AIPAC is planning on spending $100,000,000 to unseat the Squad in their Democratic primary elections this coming spring and summer.
Why? Because Justice Democrats incumbents like Jamaal Bowman, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar, and Summer Lee are challenging AIPAC’s power in Washington and demanding an end to the human rights abuses being committed against Palestinians.
This article from The Intercept goes on to note that for decades, AIPAC has challenged congressional candidates simply for showing sympathy for the Palestinian people.
Members of the Squad were the very first in Congress to courageously call for a ceasefire and return of all Israeli and Palestinian hostages: as a result, AIPAC is unleashing more money from GOP mega-donors than ever before to try and oust them.
Justice Democrats is preparing to do EVERYTHING in our power to re-elect the Squad and keep them fighting for bold, progressive change in Congress, but it’s going to be an uphill battle going up against AIPAC’s war chest.
Every single dollar makes a difference. Thank you for fueling our people-powered movement.
— Justice Democrats
Do not worry if you cannot afford to make a contribution — we understand that this is a difficult time. There are other ways to make an impact in support of peace and equality in Israel and Palestine: please urge your member of Congress to support a ceasefire through Adalah Justice Project’s petition or by calling them using Jewish Voice for Peace’s dialer here. Your voice matters in this critical moment. |
