John,
As our progressive power grows in Congress, right-wing attempts to tear us down only increase.
In 2022, AIPAC and their aligned super PACs spent tens of millions of dollars in an attempt to silence us and defeat us. And they didn’t just get involved in Democratic primaries. AIPAC backed more than 100 Congressmembers who voted against the certification of the 2020 presidential election in an attempt to overthrow our democracy.
As I prepare to head back to Washington, DC next week―and a Republican-controlled U.S. House―I need you by my side to outwork the hate and fight for an agenda of justice and equity for marginalized people at home and abroad.
Make a year-end donation of $5 or more today to keep fighting to ensure all of our voices are represented in Congress as we work for a multi-racial, inclusive society that puts people first.

Thank you for being by my side,

John,
In 2022, AIPAC spent tens of millions of dollars to elect candidates who oppose justice and equality for Palestinians, including spending to try to defeat Rashida. They also supported more than 100 members of the far-right GOP Sedition Caucus―who voted against the certification of the 2020 presidential election. Clearly, AIPAC prioritizes far-right ideology over the preservation of democracy.
As our ally Max Berger, cofounder of IfNotNow, said leading up to Election Day:1
“It’s completely unprecedented and shows their dedication to insulating Israel from criticism is stronger than their commitment to American Democracy. Democracy is on the ballot this cycle, and AIPAC is helping the side that wants to end free and fair elections.”
Rashida is fighting for equality for all people―at home and abroad. She’s fighting for a multi-racial democracy where all of our voices are heard. With Republicans set to control the U.S. House in the New Year, Rashida needs our support to continue to build a more inclusive society where we all can thrive.
Pitch in $5 today to support Rashida’s leadership in Congress as she fights for justice for all people, including Palestinians.
While AIPAC and their far-right candidates made modest gains in the 2022 midterm election, and PACs related to AIPAC defeated candidates like Nida Allam in North Carolina, we were successful in beating back their attacks on Rashida and her new sister-in-service, Congresswoman-elect Summer Lee.
Pro-AIPAC super PACs spent more than $1 million attempting to defeat Rashida in her Democratic primary through mailers, and TV and digital ads, and they spent another $4 million in Summer Lee’s primary and general elections―among their many attempts to defeat progressive women of color and back candidates who would rubberstamp U.S. military aid to the apartheid Israeli government, which continues to expand illegal settlements and attack Palestinian rights.
We need leaders who will fight back against hate at home and abroad. Pitch in today to have Rashida’s back!

As the only Palestinian American currently serving in Congress, Rashida is a daily reminder to her colleagues that the Palestinian people exist, that they are human, and that they deserve freedom.
Thank you for having Rashida’s back.
-Team Rashida
