[ ]J Street [ ]
Friends,

This is a major victory.

In Illinois last night, our movement secured another important win --
helping a principled champion for diplomacy and democracy defeat a primary
opponent backed by DMFI, a PAC closely allied with AIPAC.

Following significant support from JStreetPAC and the J Street Action
Fund, Delia Ramirez trounced her opponent and secured the nomination for
the solidly blue seat of IL-03.

She’s now all but certain to become the first Latina congresswoman from
the Midwest, and a powerful voice in Congress for peace, justice and human
rights. And she was one of three J Street endorsees who each won their
competitive primaries in Illinois last night.

Ramirez’s big win is the latest proof that when our movement rallies
together and works with our broad coalition of allies, we can defeat the
hawkish, right-wing forces seeking to shape the future of Congress and the
Democratic Party.

Together, we can stand firmly behind our vision for a secure, just and
democratic Israel, and stop their efforts to crush principled progressives
who support full human rights and self-determination for both Palestinians
and Israelis.

The fight over the future of US politics and policy on this issue is far
from over -- with some of the biggest battles still to come.

In Maryland and Michigan -- where we stand with longtime J Street allies
Donna Edwards and Andy Levin -- we’re preparing for two more important
primary races against opponents who are being backed by millions from
AIPAC’s Super PAC.

In Maryland, we’re already seeing over $1.5 million in attack ads from
AIPAC’s Super PAC against former Congresswoman Donna Edwards. One of J
Street’s earliest champions during her first tenure in Congress, Edwards
has a long and proud record of standing up for human rights, backing
President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal and supporting a just, peaceful and
free future for both Israelis and Palestinians.

In Michigan, we’re expecting millions in attack ads against Congressman
Andy Levin, one of the House’s most respected Jewish progressives and a
close friend of J Street. Levin has led the push in Congress for bold
leadership to achieve a two-state solution and end the injustice of
occupation -- all of which has made him one of AIPAC’s top targets.

These may be the two most fiercely fought primaries yet. We’ll need to
rally our entire movement and our progressive allies as we go toe-to-toe
with AIPAC and their Super PAC (which we now know has just taken millions
of dollars in donations from two Republican billionaires).
