Friend,
Rashida is fiercely fighting for and alongside her neighbors in the country’s third poorest congressional district.
But powerful people in Michigan’s 13th district and across the country are threatened by Rashida’s groundbreaking, transformative leadership—because it threatens the unjust status quo.
Tomorrow is a critical end-of-quarter fundraising deadline. After tomorrow, we’ll file a report with the Federal Election Commission on how much we’ve raised and spent. This matters because our opponents, including special interest Super PACs, are looking for weaknesses to defeat Rashida in this August’s primary.
Let’s show the strength of our grassroots community! Pitch in $5 or more today to ensure Rashida continues to fight for us in the halls of Congress.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Rashida has been hard at work fighting for us, including:
-
Leading legislation to save state and local governments from financial collapse.
-
Introducing creative policies to make direct payments of $2,000 and then $1,000/month to all Americans, including undocumented people—without putting the country in debt.
-
Protecting people from water shutoffs, evictions, and foreclosures. She’s coordinated 80 other U.S. Representatives for an immediate ban on water shutoffs.
-
Proposing emergency grants for people experiencing homelessness, creating an Emergency Responder corps to get them the money and check on their health.
-
Pushing for aid packages that bail out communities rather than corporate CEOs.
-
Advocating for incarcerated populations and returning citizens.
-
Demanding help for health care workers and others on the frontlines of the pandemic, including nonprofits and small businesses.
-
Ensuring residents of the 13th district have access to the resources and information they need by organizing virtual town halls, wellness check phone banks and supporting local relief funds and frontline social service organizations.
Even before the pandemic, people were already in “survivor mode,” living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to make ends meet.
And now the pandemic has exposed the glaring shortfalls of our for-profit systems like healthcare. Rashida has been working hand-in-hand with marginalized communities to build a system that puts people first, regardless of their bank account balance.
Pitch in $5 or more today to re-elect a bold, progressive leader who always puts people and community first.
Thank you for being by our side.
Lindsay Maas
Campaign Manager, Rashida for Congress
