John,

We’ve been talking a lot about AIPAC, the anti-Palestinian, pro-war, and GOP-funded lobby group spending $100 million to attack and unseat the Squad this election cycle.

There’s no doubt that AIPAC heavily influences our government’s foreign policy decisions when it comes to Israel and Palestine; we’ve seen how members of Congress on both sides of the aisle who take campaign contributions from AIPAC continue to vote for unconditional military aid to Israel, despite the Israeli government’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of innocent Palestinians.

But the fight against AIPAC goes beyond Israel and Palestine: it’s about the fate of our full progressive agenda. AIPAC is raking in tens of millions of dollars from GOP donors and corporations, then using it to bankroll moderate Democratic primary challengers and attack-ad campaigns against progressive incumbents like Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, and Rashida Tlaib.

If we let right-wing, corporate interest groups funded by the same millionaire and billionaire Republican donors who support Donald Trump influence our Democratic elections, we’ll never be in a position to pass Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, a livable minimum wage, and other long-overdue reforms that our communities desperately want and need.

We can’t let AIPAC get away with picking and choosing Republicans AND Democrats in Congress. Our young, progressive, diverse, working-class movement faces its biggest challenge this year, so we need to give it our all to defend our Squad incumbents from being unseated by AIPAC challengers.

Can you pitch in $3 or whatever you can afford right now to fuel Justice Democrats’ work to re-elect the Squad and defeat AIPAC with people power?

Contribute $3

Through grassroots support from everyday people like you, we’ve gone up against AIPAC before and won — let’s do it again this year so we can not only protect but grow our bloc of progressive leaders fighting for the bold change we deserve in Congress.

In solidarity,

Alexandra Rojas
Executive Director

 

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.
