John,

At his very first in-person town hall, Congressman Wesley Bell, who unseated Congresswoman Cori Bush thanks to huge AIPAC spending, had the chance to listen to his St. Louis community.

Instead, he let police and security put their hands on peaceful protesters: shoving people to the ground, pulling hair, and choking attendees who dared to challenge him about his support of Israel.

You can watch a video to see more of what transpired at the town hall here.

We cannot let this slide.

Congressman Bell wants to dodge accountability and debate semantics while he smooths over what happened at the town hall. Constituents called him out, and instead of listening, his response was violence.

Now it’s our turn to flood his inbox with messages demanding he condemn the use of violence and police force against peaceful protestors.

Send your message to Congressman Bell today and make sure he knows we won’t be silenced. We see him, and we’re not going to forget what happened at his town hall under his watch.
