John,
When Summer Lee first ran for Congress in 2022, she overcame $4 million in attacks from anti-Palestinian group AIPAC.
Despite those attacks, Summer has been boldly calling out U.S. complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
She’s also a champion on environmental justice, gun safety reform, affordable healthcare for all, workers’ rights, and more.
AIPAC recruited a candidate to run against Rep. Summer Lee in Pennsylvania—and her primary election is coming up on April 23.
Like me, Summer doesn’t take money from corporate PACs. Instead, our campaigns are people-powered, funded by grassroots donors like you.
Please split a donation TODAY between my and Summer Lee’s re-election campaigns, so we can overcome AIPAC’s $100 million in attacks and stay in Congress fighting for you.
Here I am with Summer:
Like me, Summer also understands that we’re in office not only to pass transformative policies, but also to serve our constituents with everyday challenges. She’s a community organizer, and it’s an honor to serve alongside her in Congress.
Funded primarily by right-wing GOP donors, AIPAC spent millions of dollars trying to defeat both me and Summer in 2022’s elections. Now, they’re planning to spend $100 million in 2024’s elections, targeting me, Summer, and a few other progressives from our Squad who’ve been champions for a ceasefire.
As Summer Lee said last month:
"I am so proud of the multigenerational, multiracial movement we have built in Western Pennsylvania to protect and expand our democracy—it is our greatest defense against the dark money super PACs and corporate lobbies who seek to undermine it. They have Donald Trump and Nikki Haley's donors, we have the overwhelming power of the people."
Let’s flex our people power! With lots of small-dollar donations, we can overcome right-wing attacks.
With Summer Lee’s primary election coming up soon, please split a donation today between my and Summer’s re-election campaigns.

Rashida

John,
We’re celebrating Black-led movements for justice and social change this Black History Month, including the history of Black solidarity with Palestinians.
I’m proud to serve in Congress alongside Black progressive leaders who’ve been demanding a ceasefire and speaking up for Palestinians’ rights.
One of my fiercest allies in Congress is Rep. Summer Lee, who overcame millions in attacks from anti-Palestinian group AIPAC in 2022, during her first election to Congress.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives run for re-election every two years, which means this is her first re-election. And this year, Republican-funded AIPAC is planning to spend $100 MILLION to defeat Summer and other Black progressives from our Squad.
AIPAC even recruited an anti-ceasefire opponent who’s running against Summer in Pennsylvania’s April 23 primary election. With her primary election coming up so soon, Summer needs grassroots fundraising support to once again overcome AIPAC’s attacks.
Please split a donation today between my and Summer Lee’s re-election campaigns so we can overcome the millions of dollars that AIPAC’s spending to try to defeat us.
Summer Lee and I were both community organizers before running for state-level public office and then for Congress.
On both the state and federal level, I’ve created multiple Neighborhood Service Centers to help constituents with everyday needs. In Congress, I’ve been training my colleagues on how to do similar work in their districts.
In her first year of office, Summer has so far opened up 5 satellite offices in her district, in addition to her main office, and has run mobile service centers.
Through this on-the-ground service work, she has supported 1,600 constituents with getting their Social Security benefits, and has helped other constituents with issues like navigating our immigration system.
We need to keep Summer Lee in Congress so she can keep doing this essential work—the work that all members of Congress should be doing.
She is truly rooted in her community, and while prioritizing the needs of her constituents, she also recognizes the importance of equality and freedom for all people across the country and the world.
Will you donate $5 or more today to keep me and Rep. Summer Lee in Congress pushing for liberation and dignity for all people?
