John -- Did you catch yesterday’s exciting news? Human rights activist Rana Abdelhamid has officially joined the Brand New Congress slate!

Will you help us give her a warm welcome to the BNC family by splitting a contribution between her campaign and Brand New Congress now?

We are so excited to have Rana on board. But this also means we have yet another primary on our plate in the next two months.

With Rana joining the slate, we now have TWENTY BNC primaries happening between now and June 28th – with the next elections happening in Ohio in less than a week!

We really need your help to turn out the vote for each of these candidates. So we’ll be sending out some information soon about how you can volunteer right from your own home to get out the vote.

But for now, help us welcome Rana to BNC! If you missed Adrienne’s email with the announcement, you can check it out below. ⬇️

More soon!

Subject: Welcome Rana Abdelhamid to Brand New Congress!

John – Please join me in welcoming human rights activist Rana Abdelhamid to the Brand New Congress 2022 slate!

Rana was born and raised in a working class immigrant community in Queens, NY, and has worked for years as an activist, community organizer, and non-profit leader.

Now she’s running for Congress to represent NY-12 against a powerful establishment machine. Will you rush a split contribution between Brand New Congress and Rana’s historic campaign now?

Rana has lived the struggles of working class families all her life, and those experiences drive her activism today.

As the proud daughter of working class Egyptian immigrants, Rana watched her parents work hard to build their small business and chase their American dream. But over time, rising rents and operating costs forced them to close down.

At age 16, Rana was the target of a hate attack when a man ripped off her hijab and assaulted her on the street. She escaped, and vowed never to feel so vulnerable again. She trained to become a black belt in Karate, then began teaching self-defense classes to other women in the basement of her local mosque.

Over the last 10 years Rana has helped train thousands of women and girls around the world in self-defense, anti-hate crime, and emotional healing.

The inequality that drove her father to close his small business has only gotten worse through the pandemic. New Yorkers, and Americans everywhere, have fallen further behind while billionaires have seen their fortunes explode.

To build an economy that works for ALL of us, we have to elect working people like Rana. Will you split a contribution between Rana’s campaign and Brand New Congress now?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Rana proudly supports the Green New Deal, and has vowed to fight for Medicare for All, voting rights, reproductive justice, a foreign policy centered on human rights, and a just economic recovery from COVID19 for working people.

BNC, just like our slate, doesn’t take money from corporate PACs. That means Rana is relying on a groundswell of grassroots donors to power her campaign, and BNC is relying on grassroots contributions to help all of our candidates win.

You can help by splitting a contribution between BNC and Rana’s historic campaign now: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/rana_abdelhamid_tandem

Welcome to the slate, Rana!
