Last year, they spent more than $23 million to defeat Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, two of the loudest progressive voices standing up against unconditional U.S. aid to Netanyahu’s government. They didn’t just come for Cori’s seat. They came for our movement.
But the article makes it clear that something has changed.
Public opinion is shifting. Democratic voters no longer give unconditional support to Netanyahu’s far-right government. Members of Congress, even establishment Democrats who once relied on AIPAC’s money, are walking away, rethinking their ties.
And why? Because of voices like Cori’s, voices that refused to back down, even when the cost was enormous.
Even though the outcome wasn’t what we wanted, Cori’s loss wasn’t the end, it was only the beginning. The crack in the glass shattering their grip on the Democratic party and our democracy.
Now it’s time to finish the work we started, to take that crack and turn it into a break wide enough to let democracy breathe. The movement she built, the one you are part of, is alive. It’s growing. And it’s needed now more than ever.
That’s why we’re asking you, right now: will you chip in whatever you can today to keep building the kind of movement money can’t buy?
Because if AIPAC can spend millions to take down one of the most principled voices in Congress, they’ll keep trying to do it again. The only way we fight back is people-power, one donation, one volunteer, one act of courage at a time.
