John, our first big primary showdown with AIPAC is in less than a month as Summer Lee runs for re-election to Congress in PA-12.

AIPAC is targeting Lee and other pro-Peace progressives with $100,000,000 in right-wing attack ads because AIPAC won’t accept ANY criticism of Netanyahu’s horrific war in Gaza.

AIPAC has been targeting Lee since she first ran for Congress in 2022. AIPAC spent over $2 million against Lee — and it had a big impact: Summer Lee was up by 25% against her opponent in the 2022 Democratic primary, but her lead was nearly erased as AIPAC spent big money against her. Lee won that primary by less than a percentage point.

AIPAC even spent big against Lee once she was the Democratic nominee, preferring the Republican in the race to a progressive. The pro-Israel lobby wanted to stop Lee no matter what because of her support for Palestinian human rights. As Bernie says, once a candidate speaks out for the dignity of the Palestinian people, they end up on AIPAC’s “hitlist.”

This is what Summer Lee was up against in 2022, and the story hasn’t changed in 2024: an “onslaught of AIPAC spending.”

This year, AIPAC pledged to spend $100 million to defeat progressives (while supporting corporate Democrats, far right Republicans, and insurrectionists). It’s going to require some serious grassroots organizing in order to defend progressives. That’s why Our Revolution has joined with 20 other progressive organizations to fight back and Reject AIPAC.

It’s on us to fight back against the $100 million AIPAC is spending against Summer Lee and pro-Peace progressives.

Progressive champions like Summer Lee, Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, AOC, Cori Bush, and others have bravely spoken out against Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Now, we must stand with them to fight back against AIPAC.

When we organize, we win.
