We wanted to make sure you heard the news, friend -- yesterday, Ilhan, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib endorsed each other for re-election and launched the Squad Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee to ensure the Squad has the resources to keep building their multi-racial grassroots movement to take on Wall Street donors and entrenched systems of inequality in America.
While last week's slate of progressive victories made it clear the people are hungry for systemic change, it's also motivating corporate donors to put even larger targets on the Squad's backs as they seek re-election. We need to fight back against their millions by making sure the Squad Victory Fund reaches 5,000 Founding Donors in the first 48 hours.
Friend, will you become one of the 5,000 Founding Donors the Squad needs by chipping in $5, $10, or whatever you can? Ilhan, Ayanna, AOC, and Rashida and their leadership PACs don't accept a cent of corporate PAC money, so donations from grassroots supporters like you power their fundraising.

Thank you for joining this fight when the Squad is counting on you the most.

Subject: A message for you, from all of us.
AOC: Hi,friend! It's AOC, Ilhan, Rashida, and Ayanna!
Ilhan: We've got some very exciting news!
Rashida: Today, the four of us are officially endorsing one another for re-election.
Ayanna: And on top of that, we're launching the Squad Victory Fund, because bold, compassionate, activist leadership in Congress has never been more important.
Ilhan: The Squad Victory Fund will support our re-elections to Congress -- so we can continue to advocate and legislate for progress -- and support our leadership PACs, which invest in the grassroots infrastructure that supports the progressive movement across the country.
AOC: Will you become a founding donor of the Squad Victory Fund today? Donate: [link removed]
Rashida: Our movement is strong, and Republicans are scared of our collective power. We have to be ready because they are already doing everything they can to stop us.
AOC: We're going to keep fighting, because our communities are facing unprecedented challenges, and we need bold, transformative solutions. But this work doesn't happen alone.
Ilhan: Because we're committed to working for real change, each of us rejects corporate PAC contributions. That means we need support from folks just like you.
Ayanna: Any person who is committed to working for a more equitable and just future is a part of our Squad -- and we're so thankful to have you.
Rashida: friend, if you can afford it, will you become a founding donor of the Squad Victory Fund and help AOC, Ilhan, Ayanna, and me win re-election and continue the progress we've made together?
