John,

I’m again facing censure in Congress because I’m Palestinian American and
I’m speaking up for the humanity of my people.

Republicans are targeting me for speaking at the People’s Conference for
Palestine, which was held recently in my home city of Detroit, Michigan.

I called out how members of Congress from both parties can make millions
of dollars investing in Palestinians’ slaughter and starvation, while
ignoring the overwhelming majority of Americans who are demanding an arms
embargo.

[ [link removed] ]Please chip in to my campaign and Justice Democrats today to push back
against the GOP’s attempt to censure me. Let’s show them that we won’t let
them silence us or our movement to save lives, and we aren’t going
anywhere!

At the People’s Conference for Palestine, I was honored to welcome folks,
including fellow speaker Mahmoud Khalil, to the incredible majority-Black
city that raised me and taught me how to fight for our rights.

I spoke about how Detroit taught me that the political structures that I
have to work in were built on slavery, genocide, rape, and oppression… and
that the people, not these institutions, will free us from ongoing
oppression.

This city sent me—the descendant of Palestinians, including my grandfather
Abdallah who wouldn’t leave his land even after being shot multiple
times—to the United States Congress to fight for freedom and justice for
all.

Palestinians’ oppressors thought they could kill us, imprison us,
violently uproot us from our homeland and our olive tree farms, starve our
children to death, and we would disappear. But guess what? Now we’re in
Congress, and we’re in every corner of the United States. Palestinians
aren’t going anywhere, and neither is our shared movement for collective
liberation.

But together, we have a lot of work to do. While continuing to enable war
crimes in Gaza, our government is turning its troops on its own people. At
this conference, I said that what our government is willing to do to
Palestinians, they are willing to do to you.

The fascist-in-chief keeps threatening to bring U.S. troops into Black-led
cities like Chicago and New Orleans (which is also a majority-Black city).
And this week, the House of Representatives just voted to pass a
nearly-trillion-dollar military budget, some of which will go toward
militarizing our cities. The Senate is set to vote next week.

No matter how much they try to repress us, we’ll keep standing up for our
shared humanity and our right to dissent.

Although Republicans keep introducing resolutions to censure me, I won’t
stay quiet and I won’t back down in the fight for freedom for all. I will
continue pushing back against state violence and pushing for a government
that actually represents the American people—who are overwhelmingly
demanding an end to genocide.

[ [link removed] ]Please chip in now to stand with me against war-mongers’ attacks and
the threat of censure. Together we’ll keep demanding liberation for all
people.

In solidarity,

Rashida
