John,

Last week at a fundraiser, conspiracy theorist Lauren Boebert described a fictitious encounter with Ilhan Omar, in which she implied that Capitol Police mistook Ilhan as a terrorist. This isn’t the first time right-wing extremists have targeted Ilhan and the rest of the Squad with hateful and dangerous rhetoric.

Since Ilhan Omar was elected, right-wing extremists have attacked Ilhan for her identity as a Black Muslim woman fighting for progressive change in Congress. Donald Trump frequently used attacks against Ilhan to energize his base, and now his supporters in Congress are doing the same thing.

We’re working to elect more women of color, including more Muslim women, to Congress this year. Will you split a $3 contribution between Ilhan Omar and Justice Democrats so we can stand with Ilhan and send more progressive women of color to join her in Congress?

Ilhan didn’t come to Congress to fight with Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or other right-wing extremists. She was elected to fight for racial justice, economic equality, health care for all, and so much more. But when Lauren Boebert makes inflammatory comments about Ilhan and Rashida Tliab, she perpetuates the anti-Muslim bigotry used to dehumanize and attack Muslims across the country.

Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress, and we know that these hateful attacks won’t stop. But when you contribute $3 to Ilhan Omar and Justice Democrats, you help Ilhan and other JDs in Congress to advance the agenda that the right is so terrified about. Can we count on you to stand with Ilhan and help Justice Democrats deliver results for working people?

Contribute $3

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
