Friend, in primaries across the country, we're seeing the people rise up to power bold progressives to victory. These wins are terrifying the status quo, which is why Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell's donors are funneling millions of dollars into Rep. Ilhan Omar's primary tomorrow.

We’ve got to keep up this grassroots momentum by showing everyone the strength of the progressive movement -- which means making sure Ilhan clears this primary. Will you chip in for the first time to help re-elect Ilhan and bring new people into our movement?

Ilhan has never let up in her fights for big, transformative legislation like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and a housing guarantee. She anchors Congress around a moral center that is accountable to working people -- not corporations or the 1%. That’s because, like me, she knows what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck and not know whether or not she can afford the rent or put food on the table, and deeply understands the urgency of the policies she fights for every day.

With Ilhan’s primary opponent constantly launching GOP-funded attack ads, it’s clearer than ever that we’re living in a choose-your-fighter moment -- we have to decide whether we’re going to let corporations and lobbyists elect candidates like Ilhan’s primary opponent, or organize behind leaders like Ilhan who put people first.

If you’re all in for Ilhan and making our bold ideas a reality, chip in with your first donation so Ilhan can win this primary and help build on the progressive grassroots momentum we’re seeing across the country.

Pa'lante,

-- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
