John, here is some concerning news:
Progressive champion Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is likely facing a major primary challenger this year.
DFA was proud to endorse Rashida when she won this seat in 2018. And we’re proud to fight for her again.
That’s because, in less than two years in Congress, Rashida has led on every single progressive issue.
Rashida was one of the first members of Congress to call for the impeachment of President Trump.
She has led the fight to enact Medicare for All and made the case for the Green New Deal. She also endorsed Bernie Sanders for President at a key moment last fall when Democratic Party elites tried to count him out of the race after his heart attack.
And right now, she’s helping lead the fight to secure more pandemic relief that puts healthcare professionals, struggling working families and small businesses before bailouts for big business, CEOs, and the super-rich. These fights will only be more important going forward. We need her bold, progressive voice in Congress now, and in the years to come.
That’s why it’s more important than ever that we have her back -- especially now that she likely has a major primary challenger.
Will you split a contribution between DFA and Rashida today to make sure she has what it takes to win this race? We know this is a difficult time to give, so please only pitch in if it makes financial sense for you to do so right now:
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
DFA members across the country are fighting hard to elect progressives up and down the ticket in 2020 -- and that includes defending progressive champions like Rashida who’ve stood with us every step of the way.
Your contributions make all this work possible. Thank you for being a part of this team.
Talk soon,
— Yvette
