Ilhan Omar was taunted with racist chants at a Trump rally last night. Bernie wants to do all we can to keep her in Congress — you can read his note below.

Split a contribution between our campaigns now to send an unmistakable message against Trump’s racism.

CONTRIBUTE

Alfred -

Last night, I was at dinner with Ilhan Omar, her daughter, and some other members of Congress when we heard the news that thousands of people at a Donald Trump rally were chanting "send her back."

To my surprise, Ilhan was pretty unfazed. Sadly, as she told me, she has been dealing with this kind of hatred and racism for a long time.

And she knows, as we do, that Trump is a demagogue doing what he does best: dividing and conquering through hate.

No. Trump won't talk about trying to throw 32 million Americans off their health care. He won't talk about his massive tax breaks for billionaires. He won't talk about his budget which called for huge cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. And he certainly won't talk about how climate change is destroying the planet.

But he will try to divide the country up based on the color of our skin, our religion, where we were born or our sexual orientation.

Brothers and sisters: Now is the time, more than at any other moment in our lifetimes, to say NO to racism, NO to divisiveness, NO to the hatred that Trump is trying to foment.

Ilhan Omar is a leader with strength and courage. She won’t back down to Trump’s racism and hate, and neither will we. So today, I want to ask you to do something important that will help ensure her voice is with us in Congress for a long time to come:

Can you split a contribution between Ilhan Omar’s re-election campaign and our campaign for president? Send a message that we will fight back against Trump’s racism.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will automatically be evenly split between Ilhan Omar and Bernie Sanders:

EXPRESS DONATE: $100

EXPRESS DONATE: $200

EXPRESS DONATE: $350

EXPRESS DONATE: $500

EXPRESS DONATE: $1000

OR DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT

(Ilhan and me at dinner last night shortly after the news came through about the Trump rally)

Ilhan and I have worked together on a number of important issues since she was elected – most recently our effort to cancel all student debt in this country.

She is a critical voice in our fight for justice in America, and I am excited to work with her and other progressives when we are in the White House.

Split a contribution between her campaign and ours today:

Why do conservatives but not progressives get to question candidates?  Share this on Facebook  Share this on Twitter CNN is hosting the next Democratic presidential debates on July 30 and 31, but the AT&T Warner-owned network has announced no plans to include a progressive journalist on the panel of questioners. This contrasts with CNN’s Republican debates of 2015-16 in which unabashed conservatives were included to question candidates and thus influence the substance and tenor of the debate. Click here to tell CNN that this double-standard is unacceptable. In all four GOP presidential debates last cycle, right-wing Salem Radio host Hugh Hewitt was part of CNN’s panel. His questions strayed far from those asked by mainstream “objective” journalists – for example, pushing candidates on whether they’d “nominate conservative justices” committed to “religious liberty” as “an absolute litmus test.” Or when Hewitt goaded candidates to not “stay neutral” between Israel and Palestinians. Or when he bizarrely pushed a candidate to be as “ruthless as Churchill” in ordering air strikes that would kill “thousands of innocent children and civilians.” Please urge CNN to quickly add a strong progressive to its debate panel. An unapologetic progressive journalist would widen the debate by asking questions of Democratic candidates that CNN journalists will likely not ask – questions reflecting the concerns of Democratic voters and activists. Four years ago, CNN’s first GOP debate offered three panelists: CNN anchor Jake Tapper, CNN correspondent Dana Bash, and rightwinger Hewitt. In its March 2016 GOP debate, CNN offered four panelists: two CNN journalists (Tapper and Bash) and two conservatives: Hewitt and Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times. But for its upcoming Democratic debates this month, CNN is proposing a narrow panel of three of its own journalists: Tapper, Bash, and anchor Don Lemon. Click here to sign a petition urging CNN to broaden its Democratic debate panel, and end the double-standard by which rightwingers question Republican candidates but leftwingers are not invited to question Democrats. As the media watch group FAIR recently suggested to CNN: “Any number of progressive media outlets could provide qualified journalists” – including Democracy Now!, The Nation, and The Intercept. Such journalists would be more sober than Hugh Hewitt, and would offer a needed complement to Tapper, Bash and Lemon. Sign now to let CNN know that broadening the panel of questioners would serve its viewers and democracy. After signing the petition, please use the tools on the next webpage to share it with your friends. This work is only possible with your financial support. Please chip in $3 now. -- The RootsAction Education Fund Team Background: FAIR:  “CNN Should Treat Left and Right Alike in Presidential Debates.”  www.RootsAction.org Click here to unsubscribe and stop ALL email from RootsAction.

As we saw at Donald Trump's hate rally, authoritarianism is here in the United States. The big donors and corporations who control our political system will not save us. The only way to stop our country from falling further down the rabbit hole of racism and depravity is to organize.

That's why the political revolution that Bernie has championed is so essential — and why we need to step up right now.

Our movement is a threat to the establishment. Unlike the candidates performing uninspired cover versions of Bernie's 2016 campaign platform, we are doing the actual grassroots organizing work to advance a progressive agenda and transform our country.

Pitch in $27 or whatever you can afford to help on-the-ground activists all over the country fight the rising tide of hatred, while continuing to advance our political revolution.

Despite a years-long propaganda campaign in the corporate media, our movement's ideas — like getting big money out of politics, ensuring that health care is a human right, and debt-free college — are wildly popular among both Democratic voters and persuadable independents.

That's why Our Revolution groups are organizing around the country to continue advancing these ideas — from Oregon to Massachusetts and in states where Bernie’s campaign is not yet on the ground — and working to elect progressive candidates up and down the ballot.

We know that grassroots organizing is the only way to defeat Trump and the corporate class. With hate on the rise, our mission is more critical now than ever. That's why we need your help.

Stand with our people-powered political revolution by chipping in whatever you can here:

DONATE $10 NOW

DONATE $20.20 NOW

DONATE $27 NOW

DONATE $50 NOW

DONATE $100 NOW

Onward,
