An Arizona state legislator just called for Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal to be executed, John.
This is an outrageous escalation. It’s not some anonymous threat, but an elected official using violent rhetoric to target Pramila. And let’s be clear about why they are threatening violence against Pramila.
Pramila is leading an unprecedented grassroots organizing effort to grow our nonviolence resistance movement. Her Resistance Labs have brought together thousands and thousands of volunteers from every single state in the country.
The extreme right wing is terrified of the power of our nonviolent progressive movement and they want to silence us. That’s why they threatened Pramila.
But we aren’t scared. We can’t afford to be — not when so much is on the line.
So when disgusting threats like this are made against leaders like Pramila, our movement has to show strength. We will stand together and keep fighting for justice.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
