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.
Just click here or on the image below to get your sticker now.
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.
Thanks for all you do.
–Kelly, Justin, Schuyler, Ann, and the rest of the team
