John,

Over the last few days, former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi made disturbing comments connecting the ceasefire movement to… Russia and Vladimir Putin.

To see party leaders operate like Fox News, spreading misinformation to discredit and dismiss the overwhelming majority of Americans — just because they support a ceasefire — is alarming.

This kind of conspiracy coming from the Democratic Party is not only shameful but dangerous. Pelosi went as far as saying the FBI should investigate ceasefire protesters to see if they’re being funded or influenced by Russia.

Why is it so hard for the Democratic establishment to believe that most of its voters and the American people believe in peace and human rights?

This is exactly why we can’t afford to lose our growing bloc of young, diverse, and working-class progressives in Congress this year. Help Justice Democrats re-elect our Squad by chipping in $3 or whatever you can afford before tomorrow’s January fundraising deadline →

It’s bad enough that we’re facing $100 million in attacks from right-wing, anti-Palestinian groups like AIPAC this election cycle, but it’s disheartening (though not surprising) to see the establishment attack us in defense of their cowardice like this.

We appreciate anything you can contribute to fuel our grassroots work to support the progressive leaders in Congress with the moral courage to stand on the right side of history.

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.
