Wanted to bump Ilhan’s message to the top of your inbox, friend — Donald Trump is so threatened by our movement’s bold, transformative vision that he dedicated airtime in his acceptance speech to smearing it. That’s why he’s endorsed our GOP opponent to stop our progress in its tracks.

Our end-of-month deadline is just two days away and it’s critical that we meet our $45,000 goal to make sure we have resources to fight back against Trump and his hand-picked candidate. Will you join our movement with a $5 donation?

Thanks for all you do.

Team,

In his acceptance speech at the RNC last night, Donald Trump used my name to stoke fear in his supporters — attacking our movement’s calls to dismantle racism in our systems as “radical.”

Trump resorts to name-calling and fear-mongering because he has no real policy platform — only a series of haphazard executive orders rooted in hatred and division. But our movement is powered by people like you who know that an America with racial, social, environmental, and economic justice for all is within our reach. You and I know that we get what we organize for, which is why it’s so important that our campaign has the resources to shatter turnout records, beat Trump’s hand-picked candidate’s $4.3 million, and keep fighting for our progressive values in Congress.

Will you help us reach our $45,000 end-of-month goal by making your first donation of $5? We’re building this movement one small-dollar grassroots donation at a time.

The reality is that Trump and our Republican opponent are threatened by our vision of a country where everyone has a real shot. While they incite hate and invoke fear, we’re fighting for people-first solutions like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and a justice system that invests in communities instead of mass incarceration.

We can build an America that puts people first — we just have to be willing to fight for it. If you’re in, chip in $5 toward our $45,000 end-of-month goal right now so we have the resources to keep building our movement.

Thank you for believing in the America we’re creating together.

Ilhan Omar
