John,
Cori Bush is a nurse, community organizer, and a mother who did not hesitate to speak truth to power in her first week in Congress. Our Squad is more than just members of Congress. It’s part of an extension of a movement that doesn't only want Congress to look like us, but to also be connected to the pain on the ground. Cori gets that and she is helping grow our Squad in the movement to invest in housing, health care, and more. Her lived experience and voice is needed now more than ever.
But Cori is being attacked by a pro-insurrection group, AIPAC, that incessantly spews lies and misinformation about Cori and other members.
We can only expect these attacks to worsen as the GOP megadonor-funded group spends $100 million to try and unseat the rest of us from Congress this year, with Cori’s competitive primary coming up next on August 6th.
We won’t be bullied into silence or submission, John. And neither will our movement. They can censure me but they can't censure our growing movement that wants to save lives and support a ceasefire and end the billions of dollars for bombs and weapons.
Cori Bush is a force for liberation. No matter the pressure being brought upon us by AIPAC or their challengers, we will continue to fight for Palestinian human rights, working people, immigrants, and everyone who deserves to thrive, not just survive.
Together,
Rashida Tlaib
