John,
This past weekend, Rep. Ilhan Omar held a powerful town hall in Nashville — a city where many said she shouldn’t come. Where hateful tweets and ugly rhetoric flooded social media in the lead-up to her visit.
They tried to intimidate her. They tried to silence her. They failed.
In a moment when it would’ve been easier to stay quiet or stay home, Ilhan Omar showed up. She met with Republican Rep. Andy Ogles' constituents, listened to their concerns, and spoke truth to power — exactly what the Squad was elected to do — because Andy has been hiding from his constituents.
This is what resistance looks like: not just in Congress, but in town halls, on the streets, and in communities across the country. Especially communities that are being ignored by members of Congress who prioritize their loyalty to Trump and billionaires over their own constituents. The Squad is building a movement rooted in grassroots power — no matter how loud the hate gets.
But here’s the truth: showing up takes resources. And the right-wing machine is already ramping up to challenge these progressive champions at every turn. That’s why we’re asking:
This movement isn’t just about resisting hate — it’s about creating something better in its place: justice, opportunity, and democracy for all of us.
Thank you for standing with us,
Squad Victory Fund
P.S. Rep. Omar’s courage in Nashville reminded us what real leadership looks like. If you’re proud to be part of this movement, show it by chipping in to the Squad Victory Fund today.
