John,

This month, I stood alongside union leaders and Jewish advocates demanding a ceasefire. The next day, dozens of staff from the Biden administration held a vigil outside the White House, “risking their jobs and, possibly, their careers because they know the stakes of this moment.”[1]

It shouldn’t be controversial to say: Stop the killing! Let’s save lives! In fact, it's what a vast majority of Americans and people around the world are calling for, and our anti-war movement keeps growing.

But rather than work for a ceasefire or acknowledge the humanity of Palestinians, our elected leaders are supporting more violence. Before the House adjourned for the year, my colleagues voted to approve an $886.3 billion budget for war and destruction—the largest military budget in the history of our country. I voted against this massively wasteful budget that funds more bombs, weapons, and war crimes.

Make a split donation to my campaign and Justice Democrats today to keep the pressure on President Biden and Congress to join us in demanding a ceasefire now!

Thank you. Together, we demand not only a ceasefire, but also an end to the blockade on Gaza, an end to the dehumanizing system of apartheid, and the return of all hostages and those arbitrarily detained.

In love and solidarity,

Rashida
