John,
As the only Palestinian-American member of Congress, Rashida is a daily reminder to her colleagues of the ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people.
Right now, she’s under fierce attack for stating: “You cannot claim to hold progressive values, yet back Israel’s apartheid government.”
Allies are speaking out—including Jewish Voice for Peace Action, IfNotNow, the Institute for Middle East Understanding, and more—showing Rashida that they have her back:

When @RashidaTlaib says: "you cannot claim to hold progressive values, yet back Israel’s apartheid government” it is a simple statement of fact that everyone should pay attention to. It is about showing up for one another and refusing to allow exceptions to our values.

John,
Rashida is under attack for her bold leadership in defending the human rights of Palestinians.
Within hours of Rashida’s recent remarks holding politicians accountable for their support of the apartheid Israeli government, organizations and members of Congress were on the attack. They want to maintain an unjust status quo that treats the Palestinian people as less than human—which human rights groups around the world have recognized as apartheid. Her voice has changed the conversation about what it means to stand up for human rights for all with no exceptions.
Thankfully, our allies have Rashida’s back:

Progressive Jews agree with @RashidaTlaib.
Support for Israeli apartheid is directly at odds with progressive values. It's freedom for ALL people. No exceptions.

Tomorrow represents a critical end-of-quarter fundraising deadline. Will you have Rashida’s back and rush a donation today to support her leadership for ALL human rights?
Born and raised in Detroit, Rashida is the proud daughter of Palestinian immigrants and the granddaughter of a loving grandmother who’s still living in occupied Palestine.
As the only Palestinian-American member of Congress, Rashida consistently calls for the conditioning of U.S. military aid to Israel on ending the human rights abuses and war crimes against Palestinians. She is a justice seeker who fights against oppressions of all forms, and she’s calling on other progressives to support all human rights.
Donate before tomorrow’s fundraising deadline to support Rashida’s pro-Palestinian leadership in Congress and help Rashida stay in Congress fighting for the rights of all oppressed people.

Rashida has our backs. Thank you for having hers.
