I wanted to make sure you saw this email from my team, friend -- I took on Bill Barr this week because he is not acting as the Attorney General for the people of the United States -- he is acting as Donald Trump's personal henchman. He has no interest in protecting Americans' First Amendment freedoms or taking on police brutality and systemic racism -- only in protecting Trump's political agenda.
It's more important than ever that I stay in Congress to keep corrupt federal officials and corporate interests in check as we fight for our progressive priorities. My primary is just five days away, and our people-first campaign is counting on grassroots supporters like you to help meet our $9,000 end-of-month goal to get past the finish line and defeat my four challengers.
Will you chip in whatever you can to my re-election campaign to help me stay in Congress so I can keep holding the corrupt accountable?

Subject: Pramila vs. Bill Barr
We're so proud, friend.
Yesterday, Pramila dominated headlines in outlets including CNN, ABC, and CBS after taking on Attorney General William Barr in an exchange that Rolling Stone said "expertly cut to the heart" of his hypocrisy. Yet despite the splash she made in the news, she was simply doing what she has always done: holding the powerful and corrupt fully accountable.
Yesterday was a reminder of how critical it is to have bold progressive leaders like Pramila who aren't afraid to speak truth to power when it matters most. And as our campaign faces four challengers and a critical end-of-month deadline in just two days, it's important that we meet our $9,000 goal to keep Pramila's voice in Congress. We can't risk falling even a dollar short.
Will you help us show the four challengers dead-set on unseating Pramila that she and our movement aren't going anywhere? Donate to make sure we meet this huge $9,000 goal to re-elect Pramila: [link removed]
Pramila didn't mince words when calling out the discrepancy in how Bill Barr reacted to recent protests. When right-wing supremacists stormed the Michigan statehouse with guns and threatened the life of Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Barr didn't bat an eyelash. Yet when peaceful protesters powerfully showed up to speak out against the persistent killing of Black people and cried out for racial justice, Barr ordered federal officers to unleash tear gas and pepper spray -- injuring many and violating each of their First Amendment rights.
Pramila expertly called out how Barr ignores white protesters who seek to carry out the president's agenda -- but orders attacks against Black Lives Matter organizers who are actively protesting against the president's racist agenda. It's abundantly clear that Barr sees himself as the president's personal lawyer -- and Pramila will never stop working to hold him and other corrupt administration officials accountable as they continue to be more loyal to the president than the people.
We can't afford to lose such a powerful voice like Pramila's in Congress. Donate to help us meet our $9,000 end-of-month goal to defeat our four challengers and re-elect Pramila: [link removed]
Thank you for supporting Pramila -- she won't let up in her fight to uphold democracy and secure equal justice for everyone.
