Friend,
One of the most disturbing threats against Ilhan is groups of bigots attacking her with racist propaganda campaigns on Twitter. And unlike Donald Trump and dark money groups’ Facebook ads, these people are spreading horrific, false messages for free.
A recent study from the Social Science Research Council found that before Trump made Ilhan one of his main targets, networks of racist and misogynistic Twitter users “spread hate speech like a virus” during the 2018 midterms. Ilhan and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib were lightning rods for their Islamophobic attacks.
Ilhan is combating hate every day in Congress as she advocates for a humane immigration system and the repeal of the Muslim ban. But she can’t fight back against the constant flow of misinformation alone. Will you chip in $5 or more to make sure her for-the-people agenda isn’t drowned out by propaganda?
When anyone smears Ilhan with hate speech, whether it’s an anonymous Twitter user or the president of the United States, these aren’t just attacks against her. They are attacks against everyone who looks like her or worships like her. They are attacks against a brighter future for all of us.
Ilhan will always rise above the hate and disinformation. Her fight for progress is too important to let these attacks distract from her work in Congress. But we need to make sure that news of the work she’s doing isn’t drowned out by hate.
Please chip in $5 or more now to help combat the misinformation and elevate Ilhan’s fights for progress.
Thank you for always standing with Ilhan. With your support, she’ll have the resources she needs to put all her might into our movement for progress.
In solidarity,
Team Ilhan
