It's Congresswoman Ilhan Omar here.

Kevin McCarthy kept his word.

After 4 proud years of service, I was just removed from the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.

I want to be perfectly clear: This political stunt is a personal one — the
result of years of xenophobic, Islamophobic, and racist attacks that
started the moment I was elected.

The far-right have spent millions of dollars in campaign ads against our
movement stoking fear and division, and a constant stream of hateful and
violent rhetoric has led to hundreds of death threats against me and my
family.

Now, in their latest move, they've attempted to silence my voice and begin
undoing the incredible progress our movement has helped make both at home
and abroad.

I'm here to tell you that's not going to happen.

My commitment to justice for all people across the globe — no matter their
race, religion, nationality, or anything else — does not begin or end with
a committee assignment.

The simple truth is that McCarthy's actions to remove me from the Foreign
Affairs Committee does absolutely nothing to address the issues our
constituents deal with at home, or to promote the well-being of people
around the world.

What it does is further enable his party's hatred and corruption, and
promote fear and violence against Somali-Americans, Muslims, immigrants,
and anyone else who shares my identity all across the country.

We already know that these attacks are just beginning, which is why it's
so important that our progressive movement stays united, and is ready and
able to fight back. So please:

[ [link removed] ]Will you split a contribution — of $3 or any amount you
can — between our campaign and Ayanna Pressley so we have the resources
required to stand up to Kevin McCarthy and his far-right Republican
allies? I would not ask if your support were not so important to our
success.

Nobody — not Kevin McCarthy, not the Republican Party, not the
billionaires who fund them — will ever stop me in my fight for a more
equitable, just, and peaceful world.

From tirelessly advocating for policies like a Green New Deal and Medicare
for All at home, to standing up against violence and injustice worldwide,
I promise that nothing will stand in the way of me doing what the people
of Minnesota's 5th district elected me to do.

Thank you, as always, for being a part of our fight.

In solidarity,

Ilhan Omar
