Friends --
   AIPAC’s new PAC just announced its first slate of midterm endorsements. It
   includes over 35 Republicans who voted to overturn the presidential
   election results after the January 6 insurrection.
   The list includes Rep. Jim Jordan, who has been called to testify over his
   involvement in organizing the January 6 riot. Just last month, Jordan
   supported Donald Trump’s suggestion that Democratic campaign staffers be
   executed for treason, saying it was “right on target.”
    Friends -- Whatever their view on Israel, there can be no excuse
   for raising millions of dollars for candidates who threaten our democratic
                                    future.
   In recent years, AIPAC has run attack ads painting Democrats as terrorist
   sympathizers and fought against President Obama’s Iran deal. They continue
   to lobby lawmakers against any meaningful US action to deter settler
   violence, settlement expansion or discriminatory evictions. Now, they’re
   committing to financially support dozens of Republicans who voted to throw
   out our election results.
   Together, we must show that AIPAC does not represent our community. We
   must diminish their influence on Capitol Hill, fight for democratic
   freedoms and make supporting candidates who undermine democracy a
   disqualifying red line.

   At J Street, we’re proud to lead the fight for democratic freedoms for
   Israelis and Palestinians -- and right here at home.
   It’s why we announced our “Democracy Pledge” last year, calling on all
   Jewish and pro-Israel organizations to join together in a public
   commitment to refuse to support any candidate who voted against certifying
   the results of the 2020 election or publicly supported the “Big Lie” that
   Donald Trump won the election.
   After AIPAC refused to take the pledge, I expected this to be bad -- but
   not this bad. More than half of the Republican candidates AIPAC has just
   endorsed voted against the certification of the 2020 presidential election
   results.
   We must not let this pass unnoticed.
   Together, we must make clear that AIPAC’s support for these candidates
   endangers American democracy and undermines the democratic freedoms of the
   millions of American Jews and pro-Israel Americans they claim to
   represent.
   And together, we will continue to make clear that their efforts to defend
   the occupation and block opposition to the settlement movement undermines
   the democratic freedoms of Israelis and Palestinians as well -- just as it
   undermines the pro-Israel, pro-peace vision that the majority of Jewish
   Americans hold.
   As we go toe to toe with AIPAC and press the importance of fighting for
   our values and our future, we’d deeply appreciate your grassroots support.
   We don't have right-wing mega-donors, we have you. [ [link removed] ]Please consider a
