According to a report in The Intercept, AIPAC is funneling dark money into a Democratic congressional primary to defeat Our Revolution-endorsed candidate Susheela Jayapal. AIPAC is attacking yet another pro-Peace progressive who has called for a permanent Ceasefire and criticized Netanyahu’s horrific bombing campaigns in Gaza. But AIPAC’s $100 million in right-wing funded attack ads won’t stop Our Revolution and Susheela Jayapal from speaking with courage and working hard to expand the Congressional Progressive Caucus (where Susheela’s sister, Pramila, is the Caucus Chair). Susheela is an AIPAC target, just like Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, and Pramila, because she has spoken out for the human rights and safety of Palestinians. Such moral clarity shouldn’t lead to a torrent of spending against Susheela, but this is AIPAC’s playbook and our broken campaign finance system allows it. But we’re fighting back alongside Susheela.
Donate now to defend Susheela, and pro-Peace progressives like Rashida, Ilhan, Jamaal and Pramila, against AIPAC’s $100 million in right-wing billionaire money. If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Our Revolution will process immediately.
No amount of AIPAC attack ads and smear campaigns will deter our efforts to defend pro-Peace progressives like Susheela and continue pushing for an end to U.S. support for Netanyahu’s horrific war in Gaza. AIPAC fear-mongering will not stop us and other pro-Peace progressives from urging President Biden to use his power to stop Netanyahu’s disastrous plans to destroy Rafah. Israel is asking Palestinians to flee Rafah, even though over a million people sought refuge there after fleeing other parts of Gaza under attack. It’s a humanitarian catastrophe. $1 million just dropped against Susheela, with more to come — a seriously high dollar amount for an outside group in a Congressional primary. But we’ve overcome this before and won against AIPAC. Summer Lee just won her primary for re-election despite AIPAC’s smears against her. While AIPAC is working to defeat progressives, it’s also supporting corporate Democrats and far-right insurrectionists. And we’re mobilizing our grassroots networks and coalition to fight back and defend pro-Peace progressives. We’re fighting AIPAC’s $100 million as the largest grassroots-funded progressive political organization in the country. Can you donate today to make sure we have the resources we need to defend and expand pro-Peace progressive power in Congress? When we organize, we win. Our Revolution
