John,

Rep. Jamaal Bowman has been a fierce ally by my side as we hold our government’s leaders accountable for their complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

He’s been an advocate for Palestinians’ human rights for years, demanding an end to U.S. funding of human rights abuses.

In 2021, Jamaal met my grandmother while visiting the West Bank. Blocked at a military checkpoint near her house, he experienced in-person what it’s like for Palestinians to live in fear under constant military presence.

Jamaal connected that with his own experience as a Black man in the U.S. growing up with police forces targeting Black communities. Black people and Palestinians are criminalized just for existing.

As Jamaal has said: “The status quo has failed us, and the only way that’s gonna change is if we make it change.”

Now, he’s facing an anti-ceasefire primary challenger, recruited by the right-wing group AIPAC.

AIPAC plans to spend $100 million to try to defeat us in this year’s elections. But we won’t be silenced by these attacks. We’re speaking up louder and continuing to demand justice and dignity for all people.

Please split a donation today between my and Jamaal Bowman’s campaigns so we can withstand AIPAC’s attacks and stay in Congress demanding human rights for all people.

Thank you.

In solidarity,

John,

I’m proud to serve alongside Rep. Jamaal Bowman in Congress.

Jamaal is pushing back against right-wing attempts to censor discussions of racism in schools, and he’s been a crucial ally in the movement for a ceasefire and for Palestinians’ human rights.

He recognizes the worth and dignity of all human beings, and he knows how urgently we need transformative changes to our unjust status quo.

Because of Jamaal’s moral leadership, the right-wing group AIPAC recruited an anti-ceasefire candidate to run against him in New York’s Democratic primary.

The election’s in June, but campaigning is in full swing, and the Republican Trump supporters behind AIPAC are planning to spend millions of dollars over the next few months to defeat Jamaal.

Please split a donation today between my and Jamaal Bowman’s campaigns so we can stay in Congress demanding human rights for all people. Together, we can withstand $100 million in attacks from AIPAC’s right-wing donors.

A lifelong educator, Jamaal is pushing to invest in education and other essential needs of our communities, not bombs and incarceration. He’s a leader in the push for a multi-racial democracy where all marginalized people can thrive.

When visiting my grandmother in the West Bank, he saw first-hand how Palestinians live in fear under constant military presence. And he connected that to his own experience as a Black man in the U.S. who’s been targeted by police violence.

Jamaal and I know that the struggles for justice and equality are interconnected, from the U.S. to Palestine and beyond.

We are dedicated to equity and justice for all people, and we recognize the value of every single life. That’s why we continue to take politically courageous stands, despite attempts to silence and intimidate us.

I need Rep. Jamaal Bowman by my side in Congress. Please split a donation of $5 or more between our campaigns today so we can stay in Congress demanding equality and rights for all people.
