John,

Ilhan Omar, under attack and out raised by over $2 million, is fending off a tough primary challenger funded, according to FEC reports, by venture capitalists, real estate developers, CEOs, and supporters of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's criminally indicted right-wing extremist Prime Minister.

As one of the most important, influential and impactful new members of Congress elected in 2018, Ilhan has not only been a progressive champion and critical member of "The Squad," she's also the first Black Muslim elected to Congress.

With the primary election this month, it's absolutely critical we deliver a grassroots surge from progressives in her district and nationwide to fight back! Will you rush a split contribution between DFA and Ilhan Omar’s campaign immediately?

We're not crying wolf here. While polling still shows Ilhan favored to win, it would be foolish for progressives to sit back and take winning for granted. The headlines tell the story:

Fox News

The Times of Israel

Let's be clear, Ilhan Omar is a trailblazing leader.

When she won in 2018, she's became the first Somali refugee, first naturalized citizen, and first Black Muslim elected to Congress.

In Congress, she stood up for her religious freedom and was the first to wear a hijab on the floor of the House, despite facing death threats and xenophobic attacks from the President.

She's a critical member of The Squad, working with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley in fighting for racial justice and equity.

She's an outspoken fighter for Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, earning endorsements from Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Representative Ilhan Omar is a progressive champion and that's why the right-wing hates her. It's up to us to have her back and make sure she returns to Congress.

Don't let big spending anti-progressive lobbyists, CEOs and real estate developers win. Rush a split contribution between DFA and Ilhan's campaign immediately and fuel the campaign to win.

 Thank you for everything you're doing to win.
