John,
Democracy for America has been unwavering in our commitment to supporting progressive leaders who fight for the values we hold dear since our founding in 2004. We recognized the potential in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez long before she became a household name, proudly standing up as the first national organization to endorse her in the 2018 primary against establishment Democrat Joe Crowley.
Our dedication to uplifting the next generation of Democratic changemakers has been evident in our early support for Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, whose state legislature victories we helped secure years before they sought congressional office.
DFA's legacy of backing the Squad is unparalleled. From Cori Bush in 2018 to Jamaal Bowman in 2020 and Summer Lee in 2022, we have consistently stood alongside these courageous leaders, providing them with the resources and grassroots support they need to succeed.
Today, the Squad faces an unprecedented threat. Their principled stances -- calling for a permanent ceasefire, opposing genocide, demanding humanitarian aid, and urging the US to stop selling weapons that enable the destruction of Gaza -- have drawn the ire of AIPAC, the powerful anti-Palestinian group fueled by Trump’s billionaire donors, which has vowed to spend a staggering $100 million to unseat our progressive champions.
We cannot allow AIPAC's baseless attacks to succeed. The Squad's unwavering commitment to justice, even in the face of immense pressure, is precisely why we must defend them.
The Squad is counting on grassroots supporters like you to fend off AIPAC's baseless smears and keep fighting for justice. Fund the fight to defend the Squad from AIPAC’s attacks by rushing a contribution to Democracy For America now!
The stakes could not be higher. The Squad represents the future of the Democratic Party – a future where integrity, compassion, and bold leadership are non-negotiable.
They have been steadfast in their belief that the US government must prioritize human rights everywhere, and that means we must convince the Biden administration to use its leverage to demand the Israel government prevent the starvation of over 2 million innocent civilians in Gaza.
By standing up for what’s right and demanding the slaughter and starvation of children stop, AIPAC has put targets on the Squad and is ready to do whatever it takes to defeat them.
AIPAC is not all powerful. They can be beat. They’ve gone after members of the squad before and lost. But they lost, because Summer Lee, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib (AIPAC’s top four targets this cycle) have the power of the grassroots backing them up.
The grassroots can beat Trump billionaire money every time, but only if we stand up and deliver.
Your support is critical in providing DFA the resources we need to defend the Squad from AIPAC's well-funded smear campaigns. Every donation, no matter the amount, strengthens our ability to fight back against those who seek to silence progressive voices.
We will not be intimidated by those who attack our progressive leaders for speaking truth to power. Contribute to Democracy For America and fund the fight to defend the Squad and defeat AIPAC now.
Let’s keep working to protect the voices that fight for all of us.
- DFA AF Team
