Team — with just a few weeks to go before Ilhan’s primary election, here are 3 things you need to know:
- Progressive women of color across the country, including Rashida Tlaib in Michigan, have faced millions of dollars in last-minute outside spending in their primaries from super PACs who’d rather see conservative Democrats in power. Ilhan could be their next target as we get down to the wire.
- On Friday, the FEC will make last quarter’s federal fundraising totals public — and if our opponent outraises us for the second quarter in a row, the super PACs we mentioned will undoubtedly see it as an opportunity to flood Minnesota’s Fifth District with millions of dollars in attack ads to try to undermine our movement and unseat Ilhan.
- We’ve proven before that organized people beat organized money, and we can win again with a robust organizing operation. But it will take a steady stream of grassroots support to power our door-knocking efforts, phone banking, yard sign distribution, and online ads to get out our people-first message and defeat the status quo. That’s why we’re reaching out today:
We’ve set a bold goal of bringing in 1,000 individual contributions before our mid-month deadline expires on Friday. Can you help us meet it by pitching in with a grassroots donation of $5, $10, or any amount you’re able to give? Every donation will go toward helping us reach as many voters as possible in these critical final weeks before Ilhan’s primary.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Thank you,
Team Ilhan
