Friends, we’re reaching out to make sure you have the opportunity to tell Ilhan and Muslims across the United States that you’re standing with them in the wake of the far-right’s Islamophobic smears. Ilhan has faced anti-Muslim attacks for most of her life, especially since she began participating in politics. An Islamophobe threatened her life the day after she won her first primary. This kind of hatred and vitriol has become normalized — but we cannot let that continue. Not when these vicious attacks from sitting Members of Congress incite threats and violence, putting the lives and livelihoods of Ilhan and Muslims everywhere at risk.
Thank you for your support. Every day, we must unequivocally condemn Islamophobia and all forms of discrimination. — Team Ilhan
---------- Forwarded message ---------
Team, Over the past week, Ilhan has faced anti-Muslim attack after attack from far-right Members of Congress — inciting an increase in hateful messages, voicemails, and death threats. And she’s not alone in the hatred and discrimination she experiences. Anti-Muslim attacks are on the rise, and according to a recent study, the majority of Muslims in America feel that society and political and corporate leadership don’t take Islamophobia seriously. No one should have to live in fear of their safety simply because of what they look like or how they worship. That’s why Ilhan is fighting every day to defend the values of religious freedom enshrined in the Constitution and build a better country where no one is left behind.
Thank you for your solidarity. — Team Ilhan
