Nabilah knows we can't wait for our broken campaign finance system to change on its own -- so she's taking matters into her own hands:

Washington Post: Islam is petitioning the FEC for an advisory opinion that would permit her to use campaign funds to pay for health insurance. Her short-term goal is medical coverage. But in the long term, [she] also wants the regulations changed so that more lower- and middle-income people can afford to seek public office.

We can't have a government for and by the people if all our representatives in Congress are independently wealthy.

Nabilah's petition will empower working class candidates across the country to run for federal office free of the fear that they'll get sick on the campaign trail.

We need to come together to show the strength of our movement as Nabilah's FEC petition is reviewed. So we're asking you -- can you pitch in $5 today? >>

For too long, our political system has favored the very wealthiest Americans -- but Nabilah's going to Congress to make sure that ends. We can't thank you enough for being on our team at this critical movement.

"I really believe that we need more people like me, more people with my working-class background who grew up with parents that worked low-wage jobs. If there are more Nabilahs in Congress, I assure you, things like Medicare-for-all, things like a living wage, $15 an hour, would just be a no-brainer." -- Nabilah
