[1]Justice Democrats
John,
Justice Democrats stood with me when I first ran for Congress in 2018,
when I was up for re-election in 2020, 2022, and 2024, and when I was
censured by House colleagues for leading the call for a ceasefire and
lasting peace in Palestine as the only Palestinian-American member of
Congress.
AIPAC — and its network of right-wing megadonor-funded super PACs —
promised to do everything in their power to unseat me last November, and
thanks to this people-powered movement, they failed miserably. But they
did defeat a number of other pro-Palestine progressives in Democratic
primaries, spending over $100 million to do so. That kind of money makes
it even harder for working-class candidates to run for office.

Democrats’ 2026 Candidate Recruitment fund?
During my time in Congress, I’ve faced attacks from far-right Republicans
and from corporate, establishment Democrats. Instead of fighting for the
people we were elected to serve, they’re trying to undermine progressive
leaders for demanding the changes that our communities need in order to
thrive.
Too many members of both parties have been bought off by billionaires and
corporate interests. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to stop
politicians from profiting from war and to take on corporate influence in
politics. Many of my colleagues are directly profiting when they vote to
support the weapons industry or the fossil fuel industry, which is
unacceptable. Instead of listening to their constituents, many members of
Congress are trying to criminalize people exercising their right to
protest and free speech.
As the proud daughter of a UAW member and Ford assembly line worker, I’ve
witnessed firsthand the difference between politicians who ignore everyday
people and don’t understand the urgency of the crises our communities face
vs. the working-class leaders who understand their neighbors’ struggles
and are actually fighting for the transformative changes our communities
need. Everyone deserves government representatives who truly represent
them, but many of my colleagues in Congress are millionaires and want to
preserve the unjust status quo. The American people see this and are
losing faith in the Democratic Party, which partly explains the massive
drop in Democratic voter turnout last November.
That’s why it’s so important for Justice Democrats to build the resources
needed to recruit, support, and elect as many working-class candidates as
possible between now and Democratic primaries early next year.

Democrats reach their $100,000 Candidate Recruitment goal by February 1.
[ [link removed] ]Contribute $5
As billionaire spending in elections keeps growing, our progressive and
working-class movement depends on grassroots donations from everyday
people — rather than big checks from corporate PACs.
Thanks for anything you can give to help us transform the Democratic Party
for the better and recenter our focus on the people.
In solidarity,
