Jasmine needs us to show up for her

Ayanna Pressley for Congress

Movement family,

She is a relentless fighter.

A brilliant legal mind.

Exactly the kind of authentic, bold, effective leader this moment demands, the people deserve, and the Senate needs.

She is my sister in service Jasmine Crockett — and she needs us to show up for her as she fights for all of us, with Donald Trump and his allies already doing their best to tear her down.

To no one’s surprise, the current occupant of the White House just cannot keep Jasmine’s name out of his mouth.

After all, she is a powerful, accomplished Black woman, and his to-do list seems to be short: 1. Play golf. 2. Attack Black women — from Jasmine Crockett and Tish James to me to Ilhan Omar.

None of us are intimidated by his insults.

But the plain reality is that running for office as a Black woman — against Donald Trump’s Republican Party — comes with specific scrutiny, challenges, and threats.

And even though plenty of people love to see us fight back — even though they’ll encourage us to stay on offense — they won’t always be there to come to our defense when the attacks grow even more vile as a result. Even more dehumanizing. Even more dangerous.

Because Jasmine is such a firm fighter, the far right has made her a top target of disgusting disinformation campaigns. She gets hit with false smears, she becomes the “star” of fake, AI-generated videos, and her higher profile comes with a higher threat level.

Things have only gotten worse since she announced her run. But we are not going to leave her to face them alone. We will work together to make sure Texans have a Senator who actually gives a damn — who fights for justice, for working people, and for the truth.

Let’s help launch Jasmine’s campaign with a historic first month of grassroots support. Split a donation between Jasmine and me today.

In solidarity,

Ayanna
