Hi Friends,

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky is not running for reelection in Illinois' ninth district.

A Democrat will almost certainly take her place. The question is: what kind?

AIPAC is sneakily flooding next month's primary with support for State Senator Laura Fine.¹

But there is a candidate who can win who has been opposing U.S. and Israeli wars, and who is facing federal charges over her protesting of ICE.²

KAT ABUGHAZALEH has long been doing everything we want of Congress Members. Now we just need to give her a vote in Congress!

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation -- split evenly between Kat Abughazaleh and RootsAction -- will go through immediately:

A few of the things Kat will work to do:

• rejoin the Paris Climate Accords,
• join the International Criminal Court,
• rejoin the World Health Organization,
• embargo arms to Israel,
• create a Green New Deal,
• create Single-Payer universal healthcare,
• tax mega wealth,
• raise the minimum wage,
• guarantee paid family and medical leave,
• provide universal pre-K,
• ban assault weapons,
• build affordable housing.

Thanks for all you do!

In Solidarity,
The RootsAction Team
