Team,
In the days since Ilhan opened up about her PTSD, the GOP’s taunts and smears have only grown louder and more vicious.
Please take a moment to read her story of living through a war as a child below — then chip in $5 or more so we can fight back against the GOP’s pro-war propaganda.
DONATE $5 |
Thank you for not only standing with Ilhan, but for our fight for progress.
More soon,
Team Ilhan
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.
