David Kim is the only new candidate for Congress we have emailed you about during this general election season, and this is the only email we're sending about him. Please consider: California's 34th district in Los Angeles is currently misrepresented by Jimmy Gomez, a standard-issue, go-along (as we slide off a cliff) Congress Member, heavily funded by AIPAC, with no foreign policy on his website, and no record of -- or plans to change -- much of anything. David Kim is a progressive challenger who lost by 12,000 votes in 2020, and 3,000 votes in 2022, and made it into this general election despite a massive and deceptive advertising campaign against him funded by AIPAC. Both candidates are Democrats. Click here to support David Kim's campaign. David Kim proposes, among much else, to create a Green New Deal, ban no-fault evictions, build 12 million housing units, create a guaranteed income, and provide guaranteed healthcare. He is one of the small percentage of candidates in either major party with a foreign policy on his campaign website. In it he proposes, among much else, to - Reduce the President’s ability to unilaterally authorize "emergency" sales of military equipment/weapons to foreign governments, without explicit congressional approval.
- Push for alternatives to inhumane, broad-based economic sanctions.
- Decrease the Defense budget of $1.52 trillion, and invest in tackling the climate crisis, pandemics, and domestic and global inequity.
- Push for a global minimum tax to make the rich pay taxes like we do.
- Advocate for a global living wage to lift millions out of poverty.
- Investigate exploitation and environmental destruction in the supply chains of multinational corporations, and prosecute them accordingly; we will hold these businesses accountable for the actions of their subcontractors.
- Support cancellation of unjust and unpayable global debts so that developing countries can dedicate resources to fund infrastructure, the domestic economy, public health, education, and social programs.
David Kim would also work to withhold all economic, diplomatic, and military aid to Israel, until: - An immediate cease-fire of the Israel-Gaza war is reached (verified by an international third party).
- A wide-scale humanitarian distribution of supplies in Gaza is conducted.
- The “open-air prison” siege of Gaza is eliminated.
Had you given up imagining such candidates could possibly make it into the U.S. Congress? David Kim can do it! But only if we help.  |
