Team,

Since Ilhan's email yesterday, news broke that not one but TWO super PACs backed by Republican donors have poured upwards of half a million dollars into this primary to defeat her.

The GOP is piling on the attacks and rushing in donations to Ilhan's opponents in these final weeks because they know the only way to protect the status quo and stop our movement's progress is to silence her.

Will you chip in to our campaign so that we have the resources we need to fight back against these relentless smear campaigns designed to destroy our progress?

Subject: Another coordinated right-wing smear campaign

Team,

Just weeks before my primary election, I'm up against another right-wing smear campaign -- all because I declared that we must dismantle systems of oppression in the United States.

It's telling that the GOP is threatened by my call to end the profiting off of the pain and exploitation of marginalized communities. But don't be fooled, team: These racist dog-whistle attacks are a coordinated attempt to distract us from the fact that Republicans would rather protect the wealthy and the powerful than create a society where we are all free and have the opportunity to thrive.

We have to let them know that we won't be fooled or distracted, that our movement for progress won't be stopped because they're lashing out with bad-faith attacks and pouring millions of dollars into this race to unseat me.

Will you chip in to help me fight back? Every dollar will go toward continuing our fight for progress. Donate: [link removed]

We should refuse to accept the status quo that the GOP is so desperate to preserve. Our system leaves 87 million people uninsured or underinsured, half a million people without a roof over their heads on any given night, and millions of families in poverty. This pandemic has further exposed just how broken our system is -- as Black, brown, and poor people have died disproportionately, billionaires have seen their wealth grow by $584 billion. The people who defend this broken system the most are the ones who stand to profit from it.

Help me fight back. Chip in so we can continue fighting for the change we all deserve: [link removed]

Thank you for your support.
