John,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib have been the targets of hate speech and personal threats ever since they appeared on the political scene. Those attacks have escalated significantly in the last few weeks.
These attacks are not just appalling. They’re also dangerous. As trailblazing, unapologetic progressive women of color in positions of power, it's not a surprise that they have been targets since the beginning. But when the media, law enforcement, and the White House ramp up vile attacks, it puts them, their staff, and even their families at greater risk.
We can't be silent in the face of these attacks, and we can't let the hate they are receiving drown out our OWN voices. That's why we're asking you to help us show all four members of the Squad just how much love, solidarity, and support they have from our movement:
Sign your name here to show Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley and Tlaib just how many of us have their backs. We will deliver each and every one of your signatures and messages to show that we stand with them in the face of the hateful attacks they are receiving.

Every day, Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley, and Tlaib courageously stand up for what's right while being on the receiving end of disgusting hatred:
-
Fox News often spends hours nightly attacking them and spreading absolute lies intended to sow fear, distrust, and racist conspiracy theories,
-
Members of law enforcement — including Customs and Border Patrol employees and Louisiana police officers — have been caught threatening sexual assault and violence against them in social media posts,
-
And Donald Trump has made every effort to fan the flames, calling Rashida Tlaib a “crazed lunatic” and accusing Ilhan Omar of supporting Al Qaeda.
No matter the danger, the four of them put the needs of their constituents first and stand up courageously for justice. Yet too many in the political establishment still won't stand unequivocally with them in this moment. We will.
If you agree, sign your name here. We'll make sure to deliver all of your signatures to show them how much support they have from all of us.
In love and solidarity,
Team WFP
