John,
As progressives for Palestinian rights have built power within the Democratic Party, we’ve seen a concerted effort to defeat us—or to divide us from other progressives.
This year, AIPAC’s new PAC and its aligned groups spent millions in many states’ primaries to defeat progressives aligned in support of Palestinian human rights. Unfortunately, many of these attempts were successful.
Rashida’s Michigan colleague and fierce ally Rep. Andy Levin recently lost his re-election campaign after AIPAC-aligned groups like the Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) Super PAC waded into the race. DMFI also went hard against Palestinian rights supporter Rep. Marie Newman, who also lost her re-election.
Throughout 2022’s primary elections, DMFI and other aligned groups also targeted new progressive congressional candidates—or offered their support if the candidates changed their stances on Palestine.[1]
This new push to intimidate and defeat progressive candidates is partly because of Rashida’s presence in Congress. It's clear that those who want to continue the unjust status quo—including apartheid against Palestinians—feel threatened by Rashida.
Rashida is not afraid to speak truth to power, including when it comes to Palestinian rights and freedoms. And even though she’s been targeted by these anti-Palestinian groups, she has people power on her side.
Rashida relies on everyday people to power her campaign―with an average contribution of just $21. With Election Day just one week away, will you donate $21 today to send Rashida back to Congress to fight for marginalized people, including Palestinians?
Rashida has spent her career fighting for her community in Detroit and for marginalized people everywhere. And she’s supporting candidates with similar values who are also rooted in their communities.
We need Rashida’s continued leadership in Congress to keep up the fight for human rights at home and abroad―to speak truth to power in the face of unrelenting attacks.
Donate $21 today to help re-elect Rashida and continue to fight back against the unjust status quo.

-Team Rashida
