Friends,

Ilhan and our movement are grounded in the belief that the United States must live up to our promises. That means providing aid and refuge for the huddled masses yearning to breathe free in Afghanistan and around the world.

Our advocacy is working. The president just announced $500 million in aid for Afghan refugees.

But the right-wing media has dedicated their air time to demonizing refugees — refugees like Ilhan.

Far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson just ranted for nearly 20 minutes against accepting refugees into the United States — making false, xenophobic comments that Ilhan “hates America.”

Make no mistake: they attack her because they feel threatened by her. The right wing is scared of our work to make sure America lives up to its values by welcoming refugees.

Will you add your name in support of welcoming refugees? We need to show everyone that we’re standing together in the fight for a country that opens our doors to those in need.

Thank you for your support.

—Team Ilhan
