John,

I will never stop fighting for the human rights of all people, even if my voice shakes.

As political powers seek to silence us, I know you are by my side as I urge my colleagues in Congress to recognize that Palestinians have a right to coexist with Israelis in their historic homeland, with equal rights and freedom―rather than under racial segregation or being subjected under Israeli apartheid to a military judicial system, separate from Israelis’ civilian legal system.

While we call for the release of all hostages and those arbitrarily detained, my colleagues’ failure to join us demonstrates their refusal to view Palestinians as equal human beings who deserve the same rights as Israelis.

Right now, there are only a handful of members of Congress who have joined the calls of a majority of Americans for a permanent ceasefire now. In response to our demands for human rights and an end to the dehumanizing system of apartheid, the anti-Palestinian group AIPAC has pledged to spend $100 million in an attempt to defeat me and other morally courageous elected officials.

I will not be bullied or intimidated, but I need your help to counter these attacks.

Tonight at midnight we will close the books on possibly the most important fundraising deadline of this election. When we send our end-of-year financial report to the Federal Election Commission, it will show how much money we’ve raised and spent—and how much cash on hand we have for the fight ahead.

Our opponents will look for weakness. It’s up to us to show the power of our grassroots movement for change.

Make a donation before midnight tonight to power my re-election campaign and help send me back to Congress to continue demanding human rights for all people around the world.

Thank you for being by my side.

In love and solidarity,

Rashida
