John,

A war-mongering Republican Congressmember is trying to bully me into
silence by introducing a new measure to censure me for speaking up against
the genocide of the Palestinian people.

I’m being targeted for my speech at last weekend’s People’s Conference for
Palestine in my home city of Detroit—where I called out the majority of my
colleagues in Congress who keep voting for genocide while ignoring the
overwhelming majority of Americans who are demanding an arms embargo.

They can censure me, but they can’t censure everyone who’s working toward
Palestinian liberation. During August’s congressional recess, people
across the country came to town halls to demand their representatives stop
funding and arming genocide.

Our movement is growing, and we won’t let war-mongers silence us or stop
our efforts to save lives. The more they try to suppress us, the more we
need to get louder and more courageous.

At the People’s Conference for Palestine last weekend, I welcomed people
to the city that raised me and spoke about how the U.S. government doesn’t
value human life, in our country or abroad.

I explained that as a daughter of Detroit, it’s no surprise to me that our
government—which is complicit in war crimes including enabling forced
starvation and supplying bombs that are dropped on Gaza’s hospitals and
schools—is also defunding Americans’ food assistance and healthcare while
turning its military forces on people in U.S. cities.

Detroit, the biggest majority-Black city in the country, has shown me how
to fight for civil rights and justice. My neighbors have experienced U.S.
troops on our streets, and they’ve risen up and birthed movements.
Detroit’s community mothers have taught me that our political institutions
won’t save us or free our people: We will do that. Social change comes
from organizing in our communities and pushing these institutions to do
what is right.

Our movement is working: More Democrats in Congress are swearing off AIPAC
funding, and more Democrats are supporting policies to restrict U.S.
military aid to Israel’s government.

But most elected leaders are still deeply out of touch with their
constituents. For example, last week the Democratic National Committee
voted down a resolution for an arms embargo—even though a poll came out
beforehand showing that 75 percent of Democratic voters and 60 percent of
all U.S. voters oppose sending more military aid to Israel.^1

This recent Quinnipiac University poll also found that 77 percent of
Democrats and half of all U.S. voters say Israel is committing genocide
against Palestinians in Gaza. I will keep pushing our government to stand
with the American people and stop the Israeli government’s genocide of
Palestinians.

I will continue defending human rights at home and abroad, including our
constitutional right to protest against genocide. Recently, I went to the
University of Michigan to join student activists and workers who are being
punished by the public university for their pro-Palestine advocacy.
Dissent is critical in a democracy—and academic freedom is part of it.

Thank you so much. Together we will keep fighting for our rights and for
the safety and dignity of all people.

With you in the fight,

Rashida
