Harris,

The 119th Congress has begun, and a new report from Sludge reveals that 349 representatives and senators making up 65% of this Congress received campaign contributions from AIPAC's PAC in the 2024 election cycle.

AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby group funded by right-wing megadonors, spent an unprecedented amount in the 2024 election cycle. In fact, according to Sludge, "No single organization has ever contributed as much money to congressional candidates' campaigns as AIPAC did during the 2023-24 election cycle."

The two largest recipients of AIPAC's money?

#1 Wesley Bell
#2 George Latimer

With AIPAC's help, these conservative challengers successfully unseated our incumbents Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman in last year's Democratic primaries, replacing two progressive champions of peace and justice with corrupt, corporate shills.

Too many members of Congress on BOTH sides of the aisle take money from AIPAC in exchange for providing unconditional military aid to Israel despite its genocidal acts and war crimes.

This is exactly why we need the Democratic Party to reject AIPAC once and for all, and why we're actively recruiting working-class, progressive candidates to challenge the out-of-touch establishment in 2026. Will you fuel our recruitment fund with a grassroots contribution of $5 or more today?
