Dear Friend,
There are a few key races this year where the Jewish vote will make
a difference in that local race and also in which party
controls the White House and Congress.
Rep. Summer Lee’s re-election race for PA-12 is one of
these races — but Republican mega-donors are flooding her primary to
try to knock her off the Democratic ticket.
In 2022, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action Pittsburgh helped Rep. Lee win
her primary and become the first Black woman elected to the House in
Pennsylvania. Because this is a race with consequences for all
of us, we’re inviting all Bend the Arc supporters — including you! —
to volunteer and help Rep. Lee win her April 23 primary.
Can
you join us to phonebank for Rep. Summer Lee on Wednesday, April 17?
You can join from anywhere!
Rep. Lee has been a consistent champion for our domestic
priorities, including fighting antisemitism and all forms of bigotry
in our country. And in just one year, she helped deliver one billion
dollars for PA-12 — strengthening affordable housing, green jobs,
local food and transportation systems, protections from lead, and
more.
As our leaders in Pittsburgh write:
“Many of us have known and worked closely
alongside Summer Lee since 2018 — we know that she shows up, answers
our calls, and listens to our needs. She is willing to be at the
table, have difficult conversations, and stay in the relationships we
need to build a progressive Pittsburgh.”
Let’s help Rep. Summer Lee win her primary election. RSVP
here to join us from anywhere on Wednesday, April 17 to help get out
the vote.
In solidarity,
The Bend the Arc team
P.S. Can’t join us on Wednesday? Donate
here to power our 2024 election work in critical races around the
country. And keep an eye out for more information coming
soon about other ways to get involved in Bend the Arc’s election
work.
