John,

Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu is actively committing war crimes throughout the Middle East, and for years he has been trying to get the U.S. to go to war with Iran—with the help of a foreign lobby organization called AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee).

AIPAC donates to the vast majority of Congressmembers, and now AIPAC is pressuring these Congressmembers to vote against the wishes of their constituents by supporting yet another endless war.

One of the strongest anti-war voices in Congress is Representative Summer Lee, who overcame millions of dollars in attacks from AIPAC and Trump-supporting billionaires to become the first Black woman to serve Pennsylvania in Congress. She recently said: “It’s disturbing how many warmongers there are in Congress—on both sides of the aisle.”

Summer is one of the few members of Congress to keep speaking out for Palestinians’ rights, and now she’s co-leading a historic policy to withhold the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel. Polls show that most Americans want our government to stop arming Israel’s genocidal military.

Congresswoman Summer Lee is also a fierce supporter of my anti-war legislation, including a bill to ban members of Congress from investing in weapons corporations—so they actually serve their constituents rather than their stock portfolios.

We’re urging our colleagues to join us in supporting the new War Powers Resolution that would stop Trump from going to war with Iran. Instead of sending U.S. troops and taxpayer dollars toward mass death, we’re demanding our government invest in people’s needs at home.

Can you chip in today and split a contribution between our re-election campaigns to show the warmongers in Congress that our anti-war movement is strong and growing?

Thank you. Together, we will keep fighting for a government that truly serves the people.

I’m proud to support Summer’s visionary legislation like the Abolish Super PACs Act, the OLIGARCH Act to tax billionaires, the Reparations Now Resolution to recognize that the U.S. government has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for Black Americans, and the True Justice Act to take on our country’s racist and classist cash bail system and ensure everyone’s right to due process.

Summer has also applied my team’s model of constituent service centers throughout her district—helping people access Medicare, Social Security, housing, immigration support, and more.

One of her constituents explained: “After three tough years of going round in circles with the IRS, I found a real-life superhero team in Summer Lee and her staff… In just one month, Summer’s team did what seemed impossible… It wasn’t just about getting my money and fixing a tax mess at no fault of my own, it was about being heard and helped in a system that felt so defeating.”

Another constituent wrote: “After months of battling bureaucratic nightmares with Social Security and feeling helpless, my outreach to Summer’s team became the light at the end of a very dark tunnel… I felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for.”

This is the kind of representation and support that all people deserve. Summer and I are not only defending vital programs like Medicaid and Social Security, we’re also pushing to expand and improve life-saving services so more people can access them more easily.

JOHN,

I’m honored to fight for our collective liberation alongside Congresswoman Summer Lee. She’s overcome millions of dollars in attacks from AIPAC and far-right billionaires, and she’s not afraid to speak the truth about U.S. complicity in genocide.

Congresswoman Summer Lee is a consistent cosponsor of my legislation for Palestinians’ human rights, and she’s co-leading first-ever legislation to proactively restrict U.S. military aid to Israel: the Block the Bombs Act.

Summer said recently: “It’s disturbing how many warmongers there are in Congress—on both sides of the aisle.” I agree, and I’m grateful she’s a key cosponsor of my legislation to stop our colleagues in Congress from profiting off war.

She’s also pushing for the bold changes our communities deserve, like enacting reparations for Black Americans, taxing billionaires, abolishing super PACs, and expanding protections for our civil and constitutional rights.

At a time when right-wing billionaires are meddling in Democratic primaries to send pro-genocide and corporate Democarts to Congress, Summer and I need your support to stay in Congress fighting for you.

Will you chip in now to my and Summer Lee’s campaigns so we can keep leading the fight for a government that truly serves our communities and invests in saving lives—rather than spending billions of our taxpayer dollars on mass death and weapons industry profits?

In this Congressional term, Summer and I have introduced multiple policies together, including the Drain the Swamp Act to reinstate crucial White House ethics rules that Trump rescinded when he got into office. Summer said: “This bill is about putting people first and making sure our government answers to the people—not to the highest bidder, and not to the biggest check.”

We’re also leading the OLIGARCH Act to tax billionaires and invest in our communities. Summer explained: “The richest among us shouldn’t be paying a smaller percentage of their income to the federal government than most working families. They must pay their fair share.”

Summer and I know that it’s time for a radical redistribution of wealth: We need to tax the rich and get dark money out of our elections. I’m proud to cosponsor Summer’s policies such as the Abolish Super PACs Act, which would eliminate the legal loopholes that allow billionaires and dark money groups to drown out the voices of voters.

I’m also cosponsoring Summer’s Reparations Now Resolution to recognize the U.S. government’s obligations to Black Americans, and she is cosponsoring my recently reintroduced Justice For All Act to strengthen our civil rights, block racial profiling in police activity, and end qualified immunity for police.

And I’m cosponsoring Summer Lee’s True Justice Act to ensure the right to due process and dismantle the mass incarceration crisis. It would expand public defender services at bail hearings, which is proven to decrease the use of monetary bail and pretrial detention. As Summer said: “Due process is a constitutional right and justice should never be determined by your bank account.”

We will keep fighting for a society where everyone can thrive, and we will keep pushing back against Trump’s attacks on our communities and our rights—including our right to due process and our right to free speech/protest.

Are you with us? If you can, please chip in today to our re-election campaigns so we can show the fascists that our movement isn’t going anywhere.

Thank you so much. Together we are powerful, and we won’t stop demanding the equity and justice that all people deserve.

In solidarity,
