I want to say thank you for the huge outpouring of support from thousands
of PCCC members like you this week. Your [ [link removed] ]notes of solidarity mean so
much to me after Donald Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu to ban Ilhan Omar and I from entering the country -- which also
meant not being able to see my grandmother.

Notes like this from PCCC member Margaret K. in California speak to why I
will not be silenced: "Thank you and your grandmother for showing all
women everywhere what it means to be strong and to stand up for truth and
justice, even to the point of breaking your heart."

While the Israeli government ultimately decided they would let me visit,
it was only under one condition: that I sign a letter restricting my
freedom of speech.

No matter how badly I wish to see my grandmother, I know she would not
want me to do so under such degrading circumstances that go against
everything I believe in: fighting racism, oppression, and injustice.

Thousands of PCCC members made it clear this week that you agree.

Rev. Peggy M. in Michigan: "I pray you will get to see your grandmother
under conditions that are acceptable to you. We're so lucky to have you
representing Michigan."

Selma G. in Michigan: "I am Jewish and I have supported you from the
beginning & and don't intend to stop now."

Mike M. in Wisconsin: "I applaud your decision not to fall into Israel's
trap of silencing your views."

Greg G. in Oregon: "Stay strong and keep fighting for justice. Your
grandmother will be proud."

I want to be crystal clear: I am more committed than ever before to
defending the rights and freedoms of the people everywhere. No political
attacks from Trump, Netanyahu, or any other oppressive leader will change
that or silence me.

Thanks for being a bold progressive -- and thanks to everyone who took the
time to [ [link removed] ]let me know that you are with Ilhan and me!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here: [link removed]
