Friend,
A billionaire-funded super PAC is rolling out $1 million in attack ads against Rashida. We must fight back!
Check out our message below, which describes how a hedge fund billionaire and AIPAC-aligned super PAC are attempting to mislead voters, distort reality, and take down Rashida. Then pitch in $5 to fight back!
Together, we’re going to defeat the billionaire bullies and return Rashida to Congress to fight for human rights and the rights and wages of working people and marginalized communities.
Thank you,
-Team Rashida

Friend,
New details are emerging over the super PAC attacking Rashida and attempting to uplift at least one of her Democratic primary opponents. According to the PAC itself:
"UEA PAC's premier race will be in Michigan's 12th Congressional District, where the group plans to spend upwards of $1 million on TV, digital, mail, radio, and print advertising...."1
This pro-AIPAC group, funded by a hedge fund billionaire, is preparing to flood Rashida’s district with misinformation and attack ads, which is the same playbook used to defeat Nida Allam in North Carolina and cut Summer Lee’s victory to just 740 votes after leading by 25 points just weeks before her primary election.
The super PAC and its supporters have a history of supporting Democrats and Republicans alike. Just look at this tweet from super PAC spokesperson Bakari Sellers at an AIPAC convention with late GOP mega donor Sheldon Adelson:
Rashida needs our help to fight back against conservative Democrats seeking to undermine her leadership and our progressive agenda.
Will you pitch in today to fight back against special interests and hedge fund billionaires that are looking to take down Rashida?
Thankfully, Rashida’s allies are coming to her defense. Look at this tweet from Justice Democrats Waleed Shahid:

With Islamophobia on the rise, it is disgraceful to single out the *only* Palestinian member of Congress, who is a civil rights lawyer and represents one of the most Arab-American districts, @Bakari_Sellers. Shouldn’t you focus on holding the Dem majority?

And this tweet from Bernie Sanders’ Communications Director:

With Rashida running in a new re-drawn district, we’re getting Rashida’s record of delivering for her constituents to all corners of Michigan-12. We can’t allow billionaire-funded special interests to define Rashida in her critical re-election campaign.
Thank you for always having Rashida’s back.
