Team,

The Republican Party and their far-right media allies are doubling down on hate.

Charlie Kirk, the far-right, Trump-supporting founder of Turning Point USA, went so far as to say that President Biden "wants a couple hundred thousand more Ilhan Omars to come into America to change the body politic permanently.”

Last we checked, Ilhan is from Somalia — not Afghanistan. But Trump and the Republican Party have built their far-right movement on racism and Islamophobia, so it’s no surprise that they’d stoop this low.

The rest of the far right — from Tucker Carlson to Stephen Miller — is following suit, riling up their base by demonizing refugees and falsely claiming that they’re a danger to society. It’s despicable.

In reality, Republicans are frightened that a refugee like Ilhan has been elected to Congress and is using her platform to welcome refugees and unapologetically fight for human rights. The GOP would rather divide us, continue endless wars, and shut out people who need our help than support policies that promote peace and justice.

But Ilhan will never stop working toward a more just, peaceful world — no matter what the GOP has to say. Will you help fight back against these attacks and power Ilhan’s work for refugees by chipping in any amount you can right now?
