Hey John,
Look, I'm not here to sugarcoat things: Donald Trump is working overtime to dismantle everything we've built. If his administration has its way, billionaires and the ultra-wealthy will come first, and working families dead last.
Take this last election. AIPAC spent over $25 million to take down my progressive colleagues Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman. They wanted to break our movement—and yes, they succeeded in shrinking the Squad by two members. But you know what? We're still here, and we are NOT backing down.
My forever sister-in-service Cori may not be in Congress right now, but she's still in this fight. She's building a PAC to elect progressive leaders who will stand up to corporate greed, take on right-wing billionaires, and fight for our communities. Because that's how we win: by organizing, mobilizing, and building power from the ground up.
I know this because I've lived it. I'm in Congress today because grassroots organizers, union members, and working people had my back. And together, we proved that organized people can beat organized money.
John, we know what’s at stake. Working families are getting squeezed while billionaires and greedy corporations rake in record profits. The only way we win is by organizing harder, building stronger coalitions, and electing leaders who refuse to sell out their values.
When I got to Congress, I fought to secure over $2.4 billion in investments for green energy jobs, housing, clean air and water, and lower costs for Western Pennsylvania. I know what’s possible when leaders put working families first.
Y’all, we have a choice: sit back while Donald Trump stacks the deck in his favor—or take real action to stop him. This is our moment to fight back—for Cori, for Jamaal, and for the future we're building together.
Split a contribution today to power this movement.
In solidarity,
Summer Lee
