John,

Detroit’s police chief went on TV to call for Rashida Tlaib’s resignation over her comments criticizing mass incarceration and over-policing in our communities.

This just shows how reactionary law enforcement is when facing criticism. Rashida is fighting for radical change in how we keep folks safe, as Black people are killed by police again and again, and Black and brown communities across the country are over-policed, criminalized, and brutalized by law enforcement. Rashida will continue to speak truth to power, and we need to be there with her.

Join us to defend Rashida from these attacks by splitting a $3 contribution between Justice Democrats and Rashida’s campaign today. Rashida faced a primary last year and we know there are plenty of powerful people, like the Detroit police chief, who want her out of office.

Contribute $3

We know that police trainings, other half-measures, and so-called police reforms do not stop the violent, targeted, racist policing we see in Detroit and all across the country. It’s time to go beyond half-measures. We need to cut police budgets and invest money in the care and services our communities need. Taking care of our people as the first priority will make us so much safer.

As Rashida fights for a better society, it’s unfortunately no surprise that powerful people entrenched in the status quo want her to resign. We need to be there for Rashida and help her fend off these attacks.

Contribute what you can right now to Rashida and Justice Democrats so we can keep Rashida strong and continue to fight for a better, more just future for everyone.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
