This weekend, Bernie emailed you about Nida Allam and 2 other progressive women of color who are running for Congress. Tomorrow, you can meet Nida on Zoom and ask her your own questions!
Here’s Bernie about Nida:
"The Democratic Corporate Establishment is spending a huge amount of money trying to defeat strong, progressive women of color who are running for Congress. Given the recent news about the Supreme Court's willingness to overturn Roe v. Wade, we need these women in Congress more than ever.
"Nida is a long-time member of our movement, and served as a political director on our 2016 campaign for president....Now she is ready to fight for a progressive agenda in Congress."
This event is free, but if you’re inspired by Nida, chip in $3 to her campaign.
Nida is running in North Carolina’s 4th district. This seat opened up for the first time in years when Democrat David Price announced his retirement. If elected, Nida will be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress at just 28 years old -- and the first Pakistani-American member.
And she will FIGHT to enshrine Roe as the law of the land. After news broke of the draft SCOTUS decision on Roe, Nida shared a photo and a personal story of why she will fight:
“This picture was taken on the day of my abortion, when I ended my ectopic pregnancy to save my life even though a viable pregnancy was everything I'd ever wanted. When they come for our right to choose, they’re coming for our right to our lives. We can’t let them take it."
John, it could be the last time this seat is open for many years. It matters a great deal what kind of Democrat fills it, and Nida is the right kind.
This event is free, but if you’re inspired by Nida, chip in $3 to her campaign.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
