John,
Recently, Summer Lee was one of just six members in Congress who had the courage to vote against sending another $500 million in military funding to Israel.
While most of Washington caved to pressure from weapons manufacturers and pro-war lobbying groups, Summer stood tall and said: no more weapons, no more war, no more endless funding for violence abroad while our communities are suffering here at home.
And now, Summer is facing the consequences of her bravery.
According to a bombshell report from The Intercept, AIPAC is actively working behind the scenes to recruit a primary challenger to unseat Summer. They’re not hiding it anymore—they want to punish her for standing against war, for voting against more weapons to Israel, and for being a progressive Black woman who refuses to play by their rules. They’ve already spent millions trying to defeat her before—and we can be sure they’ll spend even more this time.
They want her gone because she refuses to toe the line. Because she challenges power. Because she stood up and said we should be investing in healthcare, education, housing, and clean air and water—not bombs.
And now, they’re betting they can buy her seat in Congress.
We’re here to say: HELL NO.
But to fight back, we need to act right now. We’re just days away from our end-of-month fundraising deadline, and how we close out July will determine whether we have the resources to stand up to what’s coming.
This has already been a huge month for Summer. Not only did she vote to stop the endless military funding to Israel, but she also passed a motion to subpoena the Epstein files—demanding transparency, accountability, and justice where others stay silent.
This is exactly the kind of leadership we need in Congress. And it’s exactly the kind of leadership the political establishment is afraid of.
So we’re asking you directly:
The fight ahead won’t be easy. We’re preparing to see millions of dollars flood this district to try and unseat one of the most principled voices in Washington.
But they don’t have what we have: a grassroots movement powered by people who believe that peace is worth fighting for. That justice is worth fighting for. That Summer is worth fighting for.
This is our moment to show that we’re not going anywhere. We will not be silenced. And we will not back down.
Let’s go get it!
— Team Summer
