If the opposite of Con is Pro, what's the opposite of Congress?

We all love to complain about Congress.

But what if those members of Congress who are actually doing good, who are out in front representing the people, were not just censured by the House of Representatives, were not just slandered by corporate media, were not just doomed to run against absurdly well-funded pro-war challengers? (Two different people have now said that AIPAC has offered them $20 million to run against Rep. Rashida Tlaib.)

What if, instead, their most courageous actions were greeted by popular acclaim and grassroots donations to help keep them in office? What impact might that have on them AND on their colleagues?

Now is a moment to show Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, Cori Bush, and Rashida Tlaib that we support what they are doing for peace and justice. Click here to donate to all four of them.

"Magically found $768,000,000,000 for a [military] budget, but the same folks can't fully fund the $45- $60 billion needed to remove lead service lines in our country." —Rep. Rashida Tlaib

"10 years ago today, Nelson Mandela passed away. He dedicated his life to justice in all its forms, including dismantling apartheid. We must continue his legacy of fighting for justice everywhere, in this country and around the world, including addressing Israeli apartheid." —Rep. Cori Bush

"My ancestors were colonized + stolen from Africa, enslaved, segregated + disenfranchised in the Americas & persecuted around the globe. I fight today bc I don't wish these atrocities to be visited upon anyone's descendants. We can create a world where history never repeats itself." —Rep. Summer Lee

"I voted no on H. Res. 894. This extreme and cynical Republican resolution does nothing to combat antisemitism, relies on a definition that conflates criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism, paints critics of the Israeli government as antisemites and falsely states that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism." —Rep. Ilhan Omar
