John -- it's officially happened.
Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans are removing Democrats from
committee assignments for political reasons -- and I’m their next target.
What Speaker McCarthy and the GOP are doing is a blow to the integrity of
our democracy and a threat to our national security.
I was honored to be part of the first PCCC National Candidate Training in
2015 when I was first running for office and proud to have the PCCC’s
support these past years. Now, after months and months of endless attacks,
it's so important that our movement continues to stand together and fights
back.
A vote is expected soon on the full House floor. Two Republicans have
already said they won't support McCarthy's efforts, and we just need 2
more. I'm fighting back, will you stand with me?
[ [link removed] ]Will you make a contribution -- of whatever you can afford -- to stand
with me and our people-powered campaign today? This is such an important
time to show the strength of our grassroots movement.
Here's the truth, John:
Our democracy depends on healthy and vibrant debate. Our strength lies not
in our perfection, but in the diversity of our voices.
That is why -- whatever our disagreements might be as members of Congress
-- policy differences alone are not cause for removing someone from
serving on a committee.
In modern American history, the punishment of stripping a member of
Congress of their committee assignments has been reserved only for the
most extreme wrongdoings.
That means representatives who have been indicted on charges of
corruption, who have engaged in bribery, sexual misconduct, or encouraged
violence against other members.
But now, they are removing members purely for political retaliation.
I'm under attack because nothing scares the Republican Party more than a
Black, Muslim, progressive refugee relentlessly fighting for a better
world.
These attempts to silence us and undo the progress our movement has made
together are a cheap, personal, and political stunt -- and we will always
stand up to them. So please:

would not be asking if your support were not so important.

Nobody -- not Kevin McCarthy, not the Republican Party, not the
billionaires who fund them -- will ever stop me in our fight for a more
equitable, just, and peaceful world.
Thank you, as always, for being a part of it.
