Team,
I fled the civil war in Somalia as a child and suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Now, the GOP is trying to shame me and erase my experience as a survivor.

The trauma of war is not only felt by the soldier on the battlefield. It is felt by the children huddled under beds as bombs go off outside their window.
I was one of those children, and in Congress, I will always speak out against war.
War trauma never leaves you. When I have these conversations around war, I find myself stricken with PTSD.
But I find peace knowing that I serve in Congress with great advocates for peace and people who have shown courage against war.
Engaging in armed conflict never creates stability -- it only costs lives and futures.
No matter what bad-faith attacks I face from the GOP, I won't stop speaking out for what's right. Let's stand for a more peaceful future together.
Chip in $5 or more to my re-election campaign to make sure that the GOP's propaganda campaign pushing for war doesn't drown out our message about peace: [link removed]
Thank you,
Ilhan Omar
