Hi John,
The Capitol Police have reported that “threats against lawmakers have increased by 107 percent in just the first five months of the year compared with last year.”
The Capitol insurrection -- and every Republican who continues to appease right-wing extremists -- have created a hostile environment on the Hill. Democratic representatives like Tim Ryan know that women of color are threatened because people like Marjorie Taylor Greene “continue to target AOC...it's dangerous.”
Republicans have become experts in threatening AOC. In 2020, GOP Rep. Ted Yoho accosted AOC on the Capitol steps, calling her a “fucking bitch.” In 2021, an army of Republicans accused AOC of fabricating her traumatizing experience on January 6. And most recently, Greene followed AOC around the Capitol, screaming at her for supporting “terrorists.”
AOC is now calling for increased security measures for lawmakers in the Capitol and in states nationwide, and we want to make it clear that the American people have her back. John, add your voice to ours now:
Do you stand with AOC?
Thank you for providing your input as we work to strengthen our democracy and support the progressive women bringing change to Washington.
Our work would be impossible without you.
