John,
I’m reaching out today because tonight’s end-of-quarter deadline is one of the most important moments for our movement this year.
The Squad is counting on this team to help us reach our $30,000 fundraising goal — and I know we can get there if we all step up together.
We’re on the front lines: calling out blatant attacks on our democracy, pushing back against the harm caused by Trump and his billionaire backers, and fighting for a future where everyone has the freedom to thrive.
We’re confronting the same powerful forces that have always tried to silence progress and marginalize our communities. And make no mistake: they will do whatever it takes to defeat us.
Unlike most in Congress, we don’t take money from billionaires or corporate PACs. Instead, our movement is powered by people — teachers, nurses, activists, neighbors — who believe our democracy should serve and center everyone, not just the wealthy few.
That’s why the attacks on the Squad are relentless. We are targeted because we dare to imagine — and fight for — a better future: Medicare for All, economic justice, reproductive freedom, an end to endless wars, and a democracy that works for every single one of us.
They want to scare us into silence. But courage is stronger than fear. And people power is stronger than corporate money.
If we fall short tonight, the opposition will be emboldened to continue their reckless escalation. But if we rise to this challenge and reach our $30,000 goal, we’ll send a clear message: our movement is strong, resilient, and ready to win.
In solidarity,
Ilhan
