Hey John— it's Summer Lee!

As we approach the end of the year, Cori Bush and I are facing a HUGE challenge, and we need your support now more than ever.

You may have heard: AIPAC (the right-wing PAC funded by Republican mega-donors that elected 109 insurrectionists and spent $5 million on racist ads attacking me in 2022), is now targeting a tiny group of Black and brown progressives in Congress, including Cori and I.

A few weeks back, they announced their plan to spend a staggering $100 million worth of vicious attack ads to defeat us in the 2024 elections. Why? Because we represent voices and communities too often overlooked and unheard in Washington.

We need your help to counter the $100 million dollar smear campaign they’re planning against us – and the way we close out this fundraising quarter will determine the strength our movement has to fight back. We are asking you today to split a donation between our campaigns.

The truth is: Cori and I stand for you. We've chosen to prioritize people over corporate interests, and our commitment to equal rights, freedoms, and peace has made some powerful groups very uncomfortable. We are being targeted because we are effective in bringing about change that challenges the status quo.

Our end-of-year goals are looming, and it's crucial that we finish strong. This is more than just a fundraising target—it's a statement. It's about showing those who oppose us that our resolve is unshakable and our movement is powered by people who won’t back down to big money.

We are both facing right-wing opponents bankrolled by the same Republican billionaires that bribed SCOTUS – threatening our re-election and the people-powered movement we’ve all worked so hard to build. The reality is that they have access to hundreds of millions of dollars that we, relying on the power of the people and refusing to take corporate PAC $, simply do not.

We need your help to counter the massive smear campaign they’re planning against us. Your support can make a real difference in this fight. By splitting a donation between Cori and I, you're not just contributing to our individual campaigns – you're investing in a movement that champions equity, justice, and true representation for all.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:

Your contribution today is an investment in a future where every voice is heard and valued. It's a commitment to a Congress that prioritizes people, not profit. It’s a fight against the influence of big money in politics.

Let's finish this year with a strong message: We stand together, unwavering in our pursuit of a fair and just society. Your support means everything to us, and together, we can and we will overcome the odds.

Thank you for standing with us!

In solidarity,
Summer Lee
