John,

I have exciting news to share with you:

Today DFA is endorsing Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna
Pressley, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.

Since they were first elected with the help of DFA in 2018, Alexandria,
Ilhan, Ayanna, and Rashida have fought for the people they were elected to
serve and pushed forward for justice for people across the nation.

As we work to support these four powerful women of color, it has to be
made clear that Rashida and Ilhan are in legitimate danger of defeat.

Michigan will lose a seat in redistricting and Rashida’s district might be
redrawn to pit her against another popular Democrat like Debbie Dingell.

Ilhan Omar is a target for all Republicans and pro-Israel government
Democrats that are united against her. Last cycle they came together to
make sure her opponent outraised her.

They will try again.

Both Rashida and Ilhan can win, but they will need well-funded campaigns
with many volunteers, and progressives cannot take them for granted... we
don’t want to drop the ball on these pivotal races.

Our endorsement of the squad isn’t just about winning reelection. It's
about building power.

These four powerful women of color are outspoken, progressives fighters...
and corporate Democrats and Republicans hate them. Democratic leadership
is scared of them.

And just about every single democrat who is less popular than them is
jealous. All of that adds up to the very real fact even many Democrats in
Congress want to see them lose.

Don't believe me? Look at the facts: When Ilhan Omar asks questions in a
committee hearing that includes inconvenient truths about American and
Israel foreign policy, the corporate wing of the Democratic Party demands
a public censure from the U.S. House feeding into Republican lies and even
escalating tensions and rhetoric that puts Ilhan's life in danger from
radical extremist violence.

On the other hand, Marjorie Taylor Greene has verbally assaulted AOC on
the steps of the Capitol while continuing to appear at Trump rallies
stoking his white supremacist supporters with name-calling, violent
rhetoric, and chants of lock her up and yet the corporate Democrat wing is
silent. They're not coming to her defense. They're not calling for MTG to
be removed from Congress.

So let's be clear here. If there's one thing that both Republicans and
Corporate Democrats understand, it's that in Washington DC the more money
you raise, the more power you have.

Let's build power for the squad and send a message to everyone in
Washington: When progressive women of color stand up and fight, we stand
with them.

Thanks for powering our work to elect these powerful, progressive women.
