John,
In the past two months, Israeli and U.S. forces have killed more than 1,000 starving Palestinians who were waiting for food at U.S.-backed “aid sites” in Gaza.
The genocide has gotten worse as the Israeli government continues to block months’ worth of food and aid that’s waiting right over the border. Children are dying every day in Gaza from severe malnutrition.
Eighteen of my colleagues in Congress joined me in a letter demanding the U.S. end its complicity in this forced starvation. But most of my colleagues continue to engage in genocide denial while voting to send U.S. taxpayer dollars to help Israel’s military kill more children.
Recently, the House of Representatives passed a military spending package that included $600 million for Israel’s military. Only three Democrats joined me in voting to block that funding: Representatives Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, and Al Green.
Most of our colleagues take money from AIPAC, so our voices are needed in Congress more than ever. But their courageous vote has made them a target, which could be used against them in upcoming elections. So I want to help raise $100,000 for their re-election campaigns.
Will you rush a donation to keep pro-Palestinian lawmakers Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, and Al Green in Congress? Split a donation between our re-election campaigns today, and please keep speaking up for Palestinians’ human rights.

Thank you. Together, we’re standing with the majority of Americans who want to stop funding the genocide in Gaza. Seven out of 10 Democrats support an arms embargo, and there’s overwhelming bipartisan support for holding Israel’s government accountable for its war crimes.
Across the country and the world, everyday people are taking action in solidarity with Palestinians. They’re hunger striking, banging pots and pans, marching, blocking weapons shipments, and demanding their elected representatives take action to stop the blockade and stop the genocide.
It’s time for our elected leaders to listen to the people. This genocide cannot continue without U.S. support, so we need as many U.S. lawmakers as possible to stop it.
If you can, please split a contribution today between four Congressmembers who will keep fighting to end the genocide of the Palestinian people: Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, Al Green, and me.
Thank you so much for your support. However you can, please keep speaking up for Palestine and for Gaza. We must continue pushing back against the racist dehumanization that normalizes dead Palestinians.
Together, we are building a world where all people can live in freedom, with dignity and safety.
In solidarity,
Rashida

Subject: My colleagues’ courageous vote made them the target of pro-genocide groups

John,
My colleagues and I are standing with doctors, veterans, over 100 humanitarian groups, and everyday people across the world who are demanding Israel’s government end the forced starvation of 2 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Palestinian children are now dying daily from malnutrition, even though months’ worth of food is waiting right outside Gaza’s border. The UN has estimated that at least 14,000 infants could die if the blockade on Gaza continues.
Two months ago, the U.S. government replaced Gaza’s humanitarian aid system with what the UN has called “death traps.” At these deadly “aid sites,” U.S. and Israeli forces have shot and killed more than 1,000 starving Palestinians trying to get food.
We’re making noise in Congress to end this escalating genocide of my people. But most of my colleagues in Congress are still denying the genocide, while propping it up with their votes.
The House of Representatives recently passed another massive military funding bill, with $600 million U.S. taxpayer dollars for Israel’s military. Four Democrats voted for an amendment to stop funding from going to the apartheid government of Israel: Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, Al Green, and me.
We know their courageous vote has made them a target by pro-genocide groups who want the killings and starvation to continue.
Will you join me in supporting my colleagues who courageously stood with the majority of Americans who want to stop funding the genocide in Gaza? Please donate now to support the re-election campaigns of Representatives Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, Al Green, and me.

Congressman Al Green stood up demanding Congress stop the genocide and stop sending money to kill babies. His voice echoes the majority of the Democratic base: 7 out of 10 Democrats support an arms embargo.
And it’s not just Democrats. Most Americans—across party lines—want the U.S. government to block weapons to Israel and to hold Israel’s government accountable for its violations of international law.
We will keep pushing to make that happen.
We will keep lifting up the voices of the Palestinian people and the everyday folks around the world who are hunger striking, banging pots and pans, marching, supporting families in Gaza, blocking weapons shipments, and demanding their elected representatives take action.
We will keep pushing back against racist dehumanization and trying to save lives. With most of our colleagues in Congress taking money from anti-Palestinian group AIPAC, our voices are needed now more than ever.
Will you rush a donation now to power the re-election campaigns of pro-Palestinian Representatives Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, Al Green, and me?
Thank you for continuing to demand Palestinian liberation. People enduring this genocide on the ground in Gaza are asking us to continue speaking up and making noise, so let’s keep doing all we can.
With you in the fight for human rights for all people,
Rashida
