Friend,

Let me make one thing crystal clear: My sisters in Congress are Americans. The voices of women of color have been ignored for far too long — but not anymore.

We have the most diverse Congress in our nation’s history and I won’t let Trump diminish the accomplishments of women of color with the vile, disgusting, and racist things that come out of his mouth.

Or in this case, his thumbs:

The Squad, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley, had the guts to fight back against Trump and now they’re faced with his racist comments suggesting they go back to their own broken countries.

All of my sisters in Congress are American. They swore an oath to protect the United States, and by holding Trump accountable that’s exactly what they’re doing.

Donate $5 or more to stand in solidarity with the Squad and send a clear message to Trump that we reject his degrading racist comments. I’m committed to electing more progressive women up and down the ballot — your donation allows me to do that.

DONATE

This behavior is completely unacceptable from anyone, let alone the President of the United States. Together, we’ll hold him accountable.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
