Firstname, we know that one of the wealthiest conservative PACs in DC — the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — is targeting AOC this election cycle because she’s been critical of the Israeli government’s indiscriminate bombardment of Palestinians.
But we need you to see this headline:
A super PAC created by AIPAC has raised $35 million in the last six months. They’re getting huge checks from Republican mega-donors. Just one hedge-fund manager gave $500,000.1
Last cycle, AIPAC spent nearly $30 million to back 109 Republicans who supported the insurrection. This cycle, both AIPAC and the United Democracy Project are planning to spend even more to target Alexandria and the Squad.
We need to be prepared for their attack ads and heavy spending against us as the election cycle gears up.
When a right-wing group attacks Alexandria and our entire progressive movement, it’s imperative that we have the resources to fight back.
And while AIPAC is funneling big money from Republican mega-donors into Democratic primaries to challenge progressives, AOC relies solely on our grassroots movement to have her back.
In solidarity,
Team AOC
