John,

Wanted to give you a quick update on the aftermath of Trump’s racist, xenophobic tweets directed toward the Squad earlier this week, and make sure you have the chance to get your “I support the Squad” bumper sticker.

Chip in $5 or more right now and get your sticker before it’s too late >>

Alexandria, Ilhan, Ayanna, and Rashida gave an incredible response to the racist-in-chief, making it clear that they will not take the bait and be distracted by this man’s hate: they’re going to keep fighting for the people they were elected to serve, and that includes continuing to speak out against the absolutely inhumane treatment of migrant children at the border.

Ayanna emphasized the squad is not simply just these four progressive women in Congress: “Our squad is big. Our squad includes any person committed to building a more equitable and just world, and that is the work that we want to get back to. And given the size of this squad in this great nation, we can not, we will not, be silenced.”

And Alexandria had a shining message of hope and inspiration for young people in this country who have also been told by bullies to go back where they came from: “This country belongs to you. This country belongs to all of us.”

House Democrats also took a collective stand yesterday and passed their resolution condemning Trump’s vile bigotry, and all but four Republicans voted against it. Shameful, but at this point I can’t say I’m surprised.

Look, we know the truth: as long as Trump and his complicit, right-wing allies like Susan Collins and Lindsey Graham are in office, we can expect more of the same. That’s why it’s crucial we make sure they -- and establishment Democrats -- know we stand with the Squad and their bold commitment to doing what’s right.

Show your support for AOC, Ilhan, Ayanna, and Rashida -- and the progressive values they fight for -- by pitching in just $5 or more, and DFA will send you our Squad bumper sticker!

Thanks for your solidarity,

-Yvette
