[ ]J Street [ ]
Friend --

I wanted to make sure you saw the news: AIPAC PAC’s first-ever slate of
endorsees includes 37 Republicans who voted to overturn the presidential
election results just hours after the January 6 insurrection.

The list includes Jim Jordan, who is currently refusing to cooperate with
investigators over his actions on the day of the riot. More than half
AIPAC’s Republican endorsees voted to overturn the results.

At J Street, we believe that no matter your position in Israel, there can
be no excuse for raising millions of dollars for candidates who threaten
our democracy.

AIPAC is running attack ads painting progressive Democrats as terrorist
sympathizers and fighting against President Biden’s efforts to restore the
Iran deal. They continue to lobby Congress against any meaningful 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 our leaders that AIPAC does not represent our
community. As we go toe to toe with AIPAC and fight to protect our shared
democratic values, we’d deeply appreciate your grassroots support.

PS. I’m forwarding below an excerpt from an email our Comms VP sent
Thursday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 the majority of Jewish
Americans share.

We must push back against their influence on Capitol Hill, stand firm for
our democratic freedoms and make support for candidates who undermine
democracy a disqualifying red line.

We don’t have right-wing mega-donors, but we do have you. [ [link removed] ]Please
