John,
A new article from Slate reveals that nine out of AIPAC’s top ten donors are aligned with the GOP — including former Home Depot CEO and Trump megadonor Bernie Marcus, an LLC associated with New England Patriots owner and Trump supporter Robert Kraft, as well as Paul Singer, a Nikki Haley and Rudy Giuliani donor who notoriously took crooked Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on luxury vacations.
Why is a group mostly funded by Republican millionaires and billionaires spending tens of millions of dollars in Democratic primaries?
Because they want to sabotage our movement and unseat the most progressive members of Congress fighting to hold them accountable and change the status quo.
In 2022, AIPAC’s super PAC United Democracy Project spent more than any other outside group in Democratic primaries to support conservative candidates. This year, AIPAC’s network could spend upwards of $100 million to take down as many Justice Democrats incumbents as they can.
AIPAC and its affiliates have spent tens of millions of dollars against the Squad before, but we the people defeated them by coming together. This is a critical moment for the fate of the Democratic Party and our progressive movement, so we hope we can count on you again.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
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. |
