Friends,

It’s confirmed. AIPAC will now spend over $1 million in Pennsylvania to
defeat the Democratic candidate in a historically blue House seat and
support an anti-choice Republican. That’s well over ten times more than
initial reports indicated.

This is a race that could help decide whether Congress keeps a
pro-democracy majority, or comes under control of pro-Trump leaders who
voted with insurrectionists on January 6.

J Street supporters in Pittsburgh are rallying around our endorsee Summer
Lee amid the onslaught of attacks. This latest news only motivates us
further as we fight to protect our democratic freedoms.

Across the country, pro-democracy campaigns are seeking volunteers both in
person and virtually to help knock on doors, text and call voters, chase
mail-in ballots and ensure people know where to vote. 

Friends -- Would you consider signing up for a virtual or
in-person volunteer shift with a pro-democracy campaign? [ [link removed] ]You can find
volunteer events for candidates across the country here >>

Summer Lee is a lifelong resident of Pittsburgh and an experienced state
legislator who has spent her life fighting for a better deal for working
families. We know she’ll be a champion for democratic rights and freedoms
both at home and abroad.

In her conversations with our local chapter, Lee told us she believes that
the US “must support democracy and human rights in Israel and in Palestine
and commitments that lead to long-term stability between the two peoples,
so that all may live with independence, sovereignty, and dignity.”

What AIPAC is doing is Orwellian in the truest sense. 

They’ve called their Super PAC the “United Democracy Project,” taken money
from Republican mega-donors, spent it exclusively to defeat Democratic
candidates, and now they’re threatening to help hand the House majority to
anti-democratic extremists -- all while claiming it’s somehow good for
Israel and our “shared democratic values.” Their actions could not be more
radically out of step with Jewish Americans. 

But together, we represent the overwhelming majority in our community. And
together, we’re going to rally to protect our freedoms and defend our
democracy this November.

Kevin Rachlin

leading to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
