Hi John, it’s Alex.

We launched Donavan McKinney’s campaign two weeks ago. Today, we’ve got
big news: Rashida Tlaib just endorsed him.

She’s standing with Donavan — a lifelong Detroiter, public servant, and
Justice Democrat — because she knows how much it matters to have real
allies in Congress.

[ [link removed] ]And now we need you to stand with him too. Will you rush a split
contribution to support Donavan’s grassroots campaign and Justice
Democrats right now?

This is the first endorsement any member of Congress has given to any
Democratic primary challenger this cycle.

This endorsement is a huge moment. Rashida has been censured for calling
for a ceasefire, smeared for standing up to AIPAC, and relentlessly
targeted for speaking truth to power. She knows exactly what it takes and
the kind of fight Donavan is stepping into.

Rashida represents the Congressional district directly next door to MI-13.
She knows better than anyone that Shri Thanedar needs to go because this
district needs a real fighter who will stand up to Trump, and Rashida
needs another ally in Congress to fight by her side.

We’re building Donavan’s campaign from the ground up, and we know what
could be coming: a flood of AIPAC and other special interest money,
establishment opposition, and attacks on his values.

But there’s a clear path to victory — and it starts with all of us showing
up early and sending a message that this movement is strong, united, and
growing.

The more we raise in these early weeks, the more powerfully we can show
that Donavan has momentum and a grassroots movement behind him — and that
Rashida won’t be alone. [ [link removed] ]Rush $5 now to fuel our fight →

Donavan is a lifelong Detroiter from a working-class family who’s spent
his career in public service and community organizing, dedicated to
helping students, workers, and our environment.

I can’t stress enough the importance of electing more leaders from the
community they represent who will stay committed to their working-class
and progressive values once they’re in the halls of power.

Donavan is exactly that kind of leader, which is why he’s the first 2026
candidate to be endorsed by Justice Democrats and our first new primary
endorsement in years.

He’s also an anti-war candidate who is committed to rejecting campaign
contributions from AIPAC in exchange for votes to enable the ongoing
genocide of Palestinians — something we desperately need more of in
Congress.

Justice Democrats and its grassroots movement of people like you stood
with our leaders like Rashida when she first ran in 2018 and when she was
up for re-election in 2020, 2022, and 2024, and then stood by her side
when House colleagues censured her for leading the call for a ceasefire
and lasting peace in Palestine as the only Palestinian-American member of
Congress.

This is exactly why we need to grow the Squad. Leaders like Rashida need
more allies alongside them when they’re fighting for working-class people
and standing up to the billionaires and wealthy elites who control our
system. The more true progressives we send to Congress, the more we can
ensure our communities are represented — not just the interests of the
powerful, but the actual needs of everyday people.

[ [link removed] ]The work to make Donavan the next Justice Democrat in Congress starts
NOW. Please pitch in anything you can to build momentum for his campaign!
