Hi friend, Barbara Lee here — Ilhan’s colleague in Congress and the OG progressive in the People’s House.

Ilhan suggested I reach out to you before our upcoming end-of-year fundraising deadlines. But before I make a request, I want to share the historic significance of what progressive Democrats have made possible in 2021, thanks to your support.

In the face of opposition from Republicans and corporate interests, we passed an historic climate investment and relief efforts to lower costs for working families in the Build Back Better Act. We refused to give up on delivering the bold, progressive change folks across the country voted for in record numbers.

We also passed relief that met the scale of the moment we were in to help keep people safe and support our communities’ recovery from COVID-19.

We can’t slow down now. We need to keep up all we’re doing for workers and families and show everyone that progressives deliver on our promises — or risk Republicans undoing all this and more in an instant if they retake the majority during next year’s midterm elections.

But Republicans are attacking Ilhan day in and day out, because they’re so threatened by the bold, progressive change she represents.

I’m coming to you, team, because there is so much at stake: Will you split a donation between Ilhan and my campaign so that we can fight back against these attacks, defend our progress, and save our House majority from a GOP takeover?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will immediately be split between Barbara Lee and Ilhan Omar:

Thanks for all you do to support the fight for our shared progressive values. I’ll be counting on you as we head into the new year with everything we’ve fought for still at stake.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
