She is the member of Congress who introduced legislation to immediately pay every person in the United States $2,000 followed by $1,000 a month until a year after recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
She is leading efforts, along with activist groups, to end water shutoffs and restore water during the coronavirus pandemic to those who cannot afford their water bills.
She is one of the leading voices seizing the current opportunity to address structural racism, and calling on states to track racial coronavirus data.
Do you know who she is? Here are some more clues:
She is the sponsor of legislation to protect credit records from negative reports on debt for medically necessary expenses.
She is the only Congress member who has demanded that every Congress member submit to DNA collection in order to understand the cruel treatment of immigrants?
She is virtually alone in Congress in talking about the need to shift military funds to human and environmental needs.
Her list of sponsored and cosponsored legislation – passed or pending – reads like a comprehensive progressive turn toward sanity and sustainability.
If you don’t know by now, we are referring to CONGRESSWOMAN RASHIDA TLAIB of Michigan, and everyone in the United States benefits from her serving in Congress.
Rashida now has a serious primary opponent and needs our support.

Progressives are largely limited to online activism at the moment, and RootsAction has the experience to lead on it. Online activism has never yet been used to its full potential, though our successes are piling up.
Now is the time to ramp up pressure for progressive change, and to maintain basic functions that some would like to erode – including elections. RootsAction is helping people in numerous states lobby their legislators for Voting By Mail, and we’ve long been a defender of the U.S. Postal Service.
We can only continue with your help. And we need your help to defend brave members of Congress like Rashida Tlaib.
Please click here to support RootsAction and Rashida Tlaib.
Thank you!
