Team,
Last night, Ilhan's GOP challenger took to Facebook to stand by her comments that Ilhan should be "tried for treason and hanged."
Ilhan came to Congress to lift up working people across the country. We're here to help defend Ilhan from these vile threats so she can focus on passing the progressive reforms our country needs.
Will you chip in $10 or more today so we have the resources to fight back against these violent attacks?

We won't repeat the GOP challenger's name here because we don't want to give her or her campaign extra attention. We simply want Ilhan and everyone who looks or worships like her to be free from violent, racist threats.
Sadly, even though Ilhan's GOP opponent is banned from Twitter, she'll continue to post her hate speech on Facebook. Thousands of others will use social media to spread debunked conspiracy theories, Islamophobic smears, and disgusting threats.
But we refuse to let this hateful rhetoric silence Ilhan or get in the way of her mission to make sure every single person has access to healthcare, a roof over their head, and clean water to drink.
Will you chip in $10 or more today? Your donation will help us combat these violent attacks and help Ilhan focus on our people-powered agenda. Donate here: [link removed]
Thank you for making sure our campaign for a brighter future for all is louder than the hate.

Subject: Ilhan is trying to enjoy family time like everyone else. But a GOP challenger just called for violence against her.Ilhan welcomes challengers in her congressional race as part of a healthy democracy, team.
But a GOP challenger's recent tactics weren't politics as usual. After tweeting out a baseless conspiracy theory, she said Ilhan should be "tried for treason and hanged."
That's why we're reaching out ahead of our end-of-month deadline at midnight tonight. Ilhan is fighting for the progressive issues that matter to us most. Your donations give her more time to focus on proposing big, structural changes, from Homes for All to student debt cancellation to ending fossil fuel companies' influence on politics.
As Ilhan pushes for progressive reforms like Homes for All and a Green New Deal in Congress, extremists like her GOP opponent will continue to invoke violence. Will you rush $10 or more to stand up to the hate Ilhan came to Congress to stop? Donate here: [link removed]
This GOP challenger's violent words show just how far the Republican Party has fallen. The GOP has made it clear that their issue with Ilhan isn't her progressive policy platform -- it's her very existence as a Somali-American refugee.
While Twitter suspended the Republican candidate's account, they still allow racist tweets from Donald Trump and other GOP elected officials without consequence. Ilhan is up against online vitriol 24/7. Vitriol that often includes threats against her life.
Ilhan came to Congress to send hate-filled policies and rhetoric to the dustbin of history where they belong. Please rush $10 or more to support her fight: [link removed]
Thank you for standing with Ilhan and our for-the-people agenda when it matters most. Together, we're going to stamp out hate and create a brighter future for all.
