John,

I’m proud to endorse Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat. He’s running to build a government that actually works for working people, not corporations or would-be oligarchs.

Abdul is the only candidate in the race who’s never taken a dime from corporate PACs, and who has never pandered to pro genocide groups like AIPAC. Could you chip in to power his grassroots campaign today?

While Abdul will focus on protecting human rights, he’s running against one of the nation’s top recipients of AIPAC donations. So he’s up against obscene amounts of money from AIPAC and corporate PACs that are trying to buy another seat in Congress.

Abdul is also the only candidate in the race who’s fighting for Medicare for All. He won't waver on access to health care for all. Like me, Abdul is also focused on ending medical debt. No one should be punished for getting sick.

As a two-time public health official, he created programs that eliminated $700 million in medical debt for 300,000 people, removed lead from Detroit’s elementary schools, secured free glasses for tens of thousands of kids, and made life-saving Narcan universally accessible. Tonight, I joined his town hall to talk about navigating and fixing our broken healthcare system.

Together in Congress, we’ll fight for the bold changes that families need in order to thrive.

Please join me in helping Abdul El-Sayed overcome AIPAC spending to become the first Muslim and first Arab American U.S. Senator—by splitting a $10 donation between our campaigns today.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately, split evenly between Abdul El-Sayed and Rashida Tlaib

Back in 2018, Abdul and I were arrested while protesting with fast food workers to raise the minimum wage and strengthen the right to form unions. Abdul is running because it shouldn’t be this hard in the richest country on Earth to afford groceries, see a doctor, or believe our kids will have it better than us.

Abdul and I also share a history of holding corporate polluters accountable and cleaning up our air and water. Here’s us together at a 2023 panel about environmental justice:

Born and raised in Michigan, Abdul will be the first Muslim and the first Arab American in the U.S. Senate if he wins.

With all the racist, Islamophobic attacks from Democrats and Republicans against Zohran Mamdani, it’s clear we need more Muslims in federal office to represent all Americans—and show that we belong here, including in the halls of power.

As we saw with Zohran’s win this week, we can overcome billionaire interference in our democracy if we join together and demand transformative change.

Let’s help elect a deeply progressive Arab American and Muslim U.S. Senator. Abdul El-Sayed and I will never take money from corporate PACs, so every grassroots donation counts >>

Thank you so much. In endorsing Abdul, I’m joining U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who will fight alongside Abdul in the Senate for Medicare for All and an arms embargo on Israel.

Our fight is only beginning, and there’s so much progress ahead. With you in the fight for better,

Rashida
