Hi John,
My name is Nida Allam, and I’m running for Congress in my home district of NC-04, to topple a crypto and AIPAC-funded incumbent and fight for our values.
I never planned to run for office, and in fact, never clocked public service as something that could be for me.
Then, I was devastated by tragedy as a college student.
When I was 21 years old, a hate crime left me personally shattered. Three of my best friends, Deah, Yusor, and Razan, were brutally murdered in their home for being Muslim, a faith that I share.
They had dedicated their lives to serving communities at home and beyond. I was broken, but their parents, with incredible strength and love, asked us not to let their legacy die—to continue to remember the three of them and cherish them in our work.
I have let that promise guide every single chapter of my life since then, and it’s why I’m jumping into this race now. If you’re with me and you’re ready to create a brighter future and push for the progress we deserve, then I need you. I’m going up against a corporate and dark money-funded incumbent, and we need a people-powered grassroots movement if we’re going to win. John, split a contribution right now between my campaign and Justice Democrats.
At this moment, it has never been more critical that we stand for something—not just against someone.
I have spent my entire life and career in public service fighting for what matters: Medicare for All and affordable healthcare for everyone, a Green New Deal that creates jobs while protecting our planet, affordable housing to keep our friends and neighbors from being priced out of their homes, and a future where ICE and CBP aren’t rewarded for kidnapping our neighbors.
With love,
Nida
