[1]Bowman for Congress
John,
Just last week, Rep. Omar was attacked by Lauren Boebert, an
insurrectionist and a Republican member of Congress. She called Ilhan a
member of "jihad squad" and insinuated that all Muslims are terrorists.
This sort of behavior is reprehensible, and Lauren Boebert and her actions
have no place in our Congress, in fact they are a threat to our democracy.
It's not the first time Ilhan has faced Islamophobia serving in Congress,
and we must call attention to it when it occurs and prevent it from
recurring.
Ilhan's presence and work here in Congress fortifies the truth that all
are welcome in the United States and within the systems we are tirelessly
working to transform. We must continue, then, to root out Islamophobia
everywhere and anywhere it exists, and stand beside her in solidarity and
action.

sentiment, and xenophobia are trafficked into the halls of Congress. If
you agree, please split a donation between Ilhan and our campaign. Let's
show that our Squad — and our movement — is big and strong, even in the
face of violence.

Our response to these attacks cannot be one of silence.
That's why last week, I was honored to be one of the colleagues that stood
with Ilhan to call for Lauren Boebert to be stripped of her committees, in
the same way we called for Marjory Taylor Greene to be stripped of her
committee assignments. I urge all my colleagues to join our call.
At the end of the day, the hatred that insurrectionists like Lauren
Boebert have in their hearts is no match for our progressive coalition.
But we must continue to fight for what's right, and demand accountability.
Thank you for your support of our movement, as always.
Peace and love,
Jamaal
