John,
Anti-Palestinian group AIPAC and its network of Super PACs are spending millions from right-wing donors to undermine our democracy.
They’re spreading Islamophobic lies about me, interfering in our Democratic primary elections, and bankrolling right-wing challengers to run against progressive candidates of color who dare to challenge Israel’s human rights abuses—like Summer Lee.
Progressive champion Rep. Summer Lee overcame millions of dollars in attacks from AIPAC when she first ran for Congress in 2022.
This year, AIPAC recruited an anti-ceasefire challenger to run against Summer, who encouraged Republicans to register as Democrats in order to vote against Summer next month. And right now, an AIPAC-backed Super PAC is running attack ads in her district with lies about Summer—nearly entirely funded by one of the country’s top Republican donors.
With her first re-election in less than a month, 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 AIPAC’s $100 million in attacks and stay in Congress fighting for you.

Like me, Summer doesn’t take money from corporate PACs. Instead, our campaigns are people-powered, funded by grassroots donors like you. That’s one of the reasons why we continue to take bold stands to defend and expand human rights for all people.
Like me, Summer is a community organizer who’s deeply rooted in her community. We recognize how urgently our neighbors need transformative change, and we’re not afraid to demand what our communities deserve.
At President Biden’s recent State of the Union address, Summer joined me in holding signs expressing the will of the people, saying “lasting ceasefire now” and “stop sending bombs.”
While prioritizing the needs of her constituents, Summer continues to champion human rights and equity for all people. We need her in Congress.
Can you split a donation between my and Summer’s re-election campaigns today, so we can keep pushing the U.S. government to invest in our communities rather than arming and funding genocide with our tax dollars?
Thank you for your support. Together, we’re saving lives and building a world where no one is considered disposable.
In solidarity,
Rashida

John,
Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed legislation to stop funding UNRWA, the agency providing urgently needed food and humanitarian assistance to starving Palestinians. The bill also includes $3.8 billion American taxpayer dollars to Israel’s military, which gets sent each year.
This isn’t what the American people want. A vast majority of voters across demographic backgrounds support an immediate and permanent ceasefire. Despite this widespread support, too many members of Congress are silent in the face of the Israeli government’s atrocities.
Why? As Jewish Voice for Peace Action wrote: “For too long, AIPAC and its Republican megadonors have demanded our elected leaders unconditionally support the Israeli military and government.”
Leaders of AIPAC’s Super PAC bragged that it was “dollar for dollar, the largest contributor to candidates in the 2022 midterm elections.” That year, AIPAC’s network spent more than $5 million trying to defeat me and pro-peace champion Summer Lee. They’re planning to spend a lot more in this critical election year, but Summer Lee and I won’t be intimidated or silenced.
Now we have just one month left until Summer Lee’s first re-election to Congress. In Summer’s congressional district, an AIPAC-backed group (which is bankrolled by one of the country’s top Republican donors) is running ads attacking Summer and supporting her AIPAC-recruited opponent.
Please split a donation today between my and Summer Lee’s re-election campaigns so we can withstand AIPAC’s attacks >>

Jewish Voice for Peace Action, IfNotNow, Justice Democrats, and other groups just launched a campaign calling on the Democratic Party to reject AIPAC.
AIPAC has endorsed far-right insurrectionists who tried to overthrow our government, and the group is also undermining our democracy by spending millions from Republican megadonors to interfere in Democratic primary elections.
Because our Squad dares to vote and speak for human rights for everyone, AIPAC is recruiting and funding right-wing challengers to try to defeat us. Summer Lee’s opponent has even encouraged Republicans to register as Democrats in order to vote against Summer next month.
Summer Lee’s re-election is coming up the soonest among our Squad: Her state of Pennsylvania will vote on April 23. This is her first re-election to Congress, and we need to keep her here holding our government accountable and demanding the transformative changes our communities need.
Will you split a donation today between my and Summer’s re-election campaigns, so we can stay in Congress pushing for dignity and freedom for all people?
Thank you for your ongoing solidarity,
Rashida
