Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just made two new endorsements for the 2022
election cycle.

We’re proud to be supporting two strong progressives who are running for
Congress: Summer Lee and Nida Allam!

Nida and Summer are both facing primary elections on May 17 (that’s just
one week away) and are up against powerful special interests who are
spending millions to defeat them.

Allam, Summer Lee, the PCCC, and our campaign? Together we must elect a
Congress that stands with working people, not corporate interests.

Here is a little more info about these excellent candidates:

Nida Allam: 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 (a title previously held by Alexandria at
29) – and the first Pakistani-American member.

In 2020, Nida ran an unprecedented progressive campaign for Durham County
Commissioner, where she became the first Muslim woman elected to public
office in North Carolina and fought to raise the minimum wage and provide
property tax relief for low-income people. Now she is ready to fight for a
progressive agenda in Congress.

Nida will fight to enshrine Roe as the law of the land. After news broke
of the draft SCOTUS decision on Roe, Nida said: “When they come for our
right to choose, they’re coming for our right to our lives. We can’t let
them take it."

Summer Lee: Summer is running in Pennsylvania’s 12th district. With
longtime Democrat Mike Doyle retiring, Pittsburgh will elect a new
representative in Congress for the first time in 25 years.

As a Pennsylvania state legislator and dedicated organizer, activist, and
attorney – Summer has fought tirelessly to lift up movements and transform
her community. When she first ran for State House in 2018, she took on a
20-year incumbent, doubled voter turnout, and won. Now, she is running for
Congress to deliver for the working class.

[ [link removed] ]Nida and Summer are up against everything the establishment can throw
at them, and we need to send them as much grassroots support as possible.
Can you please split an $8 contribution today?

It matters a great deal what kind of Democrats fill these seats. Nida and
Summer will fight for their communities and that’s why we’re proud to be
mobilizing Team AOC volunteers to lead phone banks and recruit more
volunteers for their campaigns.

Thank you so much for everything and stay tuned for more ways you can
support their campaigns.

In solidarity,

-- Team AOC

P.S. We need volunteers to help contact voters before Tuesday’s primary!
If you’re able to, please sign up to [ [link removed] ]join a Summer Lee phone bank here
or a [ [link removed] ]Nida Allam phone bank here.
