John,


This weekend, the official White House account on X posted a grotesque AI-generated photo of the U.S. military napalming Chicago — essentially declaring war on our city.

This isn’t just “trolling.” This is the President of the United States making an official statement from a government account threatening one of America’s greatest cities. It’s disgusting. It’s reckless. And it’s treasonous.


I’m not standing by while he does this. I am canvassing local businesses to make sure they know their rights, translating on the ground for families impacted by ICE, and standing shoulder to shoulder with protesters raising their voices against the deployment of the military in Chicago. I am doing this every single day because our city will not back down, and I refuse to let Trump weaponize fear and violence against our communities.


But I can’t do this alone. I need your help to build the strongest possible campaign to take this fight straight to Washington. Can you pitch in $25, $50, or whatever you can spare to send a real fighter to Congress?

We can’t afford to sit back and hope others will save us. The time is now. The stakes are too high. And together, we will defeat fascism in America.


In solidarity,
