Dear MoveOn member,
Donald Trump managed to reach a new low on Sunday, when he sent a series
of racist tweets aimed at Representatives Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib,
Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, telling the four
congresswomen to "go back [to the countries] from which they came."^1
Attacking these elected officials because of the color of their skin is
disgusting. It is unacceptable. And it is a clear attempt by Trump to
silence a group of women who are boldly and unapologetically fighting for
the rest of us.
But as Rep. Pressley said yesterday, "We are more than four people … Our
squad is big. Our squad includes any person committed to creating a more
equitable and just world."^2
MoveOn is proud to join the squad, which is why we've printed a big batch
of these "Squad Goals" stickers designed by @SoGayJen and are giving them
away for free while supplies last.

These latest attacks were not only a look inside the grotesque racist echo
chamber in Trump's mind, but also a clear attempt to distract us from the
ongoing humanitarian disaster on the border. It won't work.
MoveOn members, our allies, Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley, Tlaib,
and more will continue to work to close the concentration camps at the
border, defund the out-of-control agencies committing these atrocities,
and defeat Trump and his allies in 2020.
[ [link removed] ]Show your support for the bold leadership of these members of Congress
by ordering your "Squad Goals" sticker now.
Thanks for all you do.
–Kelly, Justin, Schuyler, Ann, and the rest of the team
