Friend,
Last week, AIPAC's "United Democracy Project" super PAC filed their 2023 numbers with the FEC, reporting that they currently have $40,750,276.20 in cash on-hand.
That's $41 million of the $100+ million they're gearing up to spend this cycle, mostly against progressive women of color like Ilhan and our allies Cori Bush, Summer Lee, and Rashida Tlaib.
It'll come as no shock to hear that our campaign doesn't have $41 million in the bank. Not even close.
But you can be sure that UDP's donations aren't coming from teachers, nurses, Amazon warehouse workers, gig-economy drivers, or other working people chipping in a few bucks at a time when they can.
It's coming from right-wing, Trump-supporting billionaires who want to interfere in Democratic primaries and see us fail. We're talking corporate CEOs, hedge fund managers, and real estate tycoons with obscene wealth beyond imagination.
Meanwhile, Ilhan's funding this campaign in a way we can all be proud of. That's why we're asking you to chip in $3 to help us fight back today.
Now, we know $3 doesn't seem like the kind of donation that can compete with all that super PAC dark money. But we're here to tell you that it is — because when ALL of us are chipping in and doing our part, it adds up to a movement more powerful than anything they can throw our way.
So please:
If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your contribution will go through immediately:
We've faced these challenges before, and we know what it takes to defeat them. Ilhan said it best: Organized people always beat organized money.
Thanks for being with us, and thanks for chipping in today if you can.
In solidarity,
Team Ilhan
