Team,

It should come as no surprise, but when we choose joy, the occupant of the White House chooses racism.

This morning, Trump attacked my friend, Ilhan Omar, on Twitter:

Thing is, I was with Ilhan the night that video was taken. It was Friday, September 13th. We were celebrating Congressional Black Caucus week and our sisters in service by dancing to Lizzo.

Once again, Donald Trump is deliberately spreading Islamophobic lies to stoke fear and hatred because he is terrified of our movement’s power. Our Squad is fighting tirelessly to make real progress for all Americans and, yes, to find some joy in the face of the cruelty and inhumanity coming from this Administration.

Support Ilhan and our Squad right now by making a split contribution to both of our campaigns. Every dollar you donate today will go directly toward making sure we have the resources to fight back when more brazenly false attacks from Donald Trump come our way.

Stand with Ilhan

I will always stand with Ilhan during racist, sexist, and Islamophoic attacks like these. I know that you will too.

In Solidarity,
Ayanna Pressley
