Right-wing media outlets are at it again. Whenever AOC speaks about systematic injustice, they ramp up their efforts to silence her. But this time, their outrage is truly absurd.
On a recent livestream, AOC talked about the connection between poverty and crime – a fact that any expert on the subject would agree with. But right wing pundits lost it, accusing her of making excuses for violent crime.
Their motivation is transparent. They couldn’t defeat AOC by donating to a corporate primary challenger, so now they’re trying to bully our movement into silence. We won’t let that happen. Will you donate to help us fight back against these right-wing attacks?
A $6 billion budget for the NYPD has done nothing to stop the spike in crime that we’ve seen in NYC. Meanwhile, countless folks from across the city still haven’t received their economic stimulus checks. Tens of thousands of New Yorkers are facing eviction. One in six children in NYC public schools is homeless.
Those are the facts. Crime is a symptom of a society that neglects its most marginalized people, and alleviating that problem requires the passage of critical progressive policies that AOC has fought for since day one. But that reality runs counter to the narrative of too many right-wing politicians who just want to increase police funding and decrease accountability.
So they’re doing everything they can to delegitimize us and shut out our message. Help us fight back by donating $15 to bolster this movement right now.
Thanks for your support,
Team AOC
