Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D, NY) has been an outspoken progressive leader since before his first election, when we supported him as a new candidate for Congress.

Since he's been in Congress, he's become a real target for rightwing hatred. Those wishing to defeat his re-election effort this year are resorting to extreme and novel tactics:

• The New York Post is accusing him of aligning himself with outstanding Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. (Perfectly true, and entirely public, not a revelation of wrong-doing, although the Post's description of Tlaib is maliciously false.)
• Bowman's AIPAC-funded Democratic primary challenger is accusing him of being funded by Hamas. (Utterly false, and Bowman has threatened to sue.)
• AIPAC allies in Bowman's district mobilized Jewish conservatives, independents, and Republican-registered voters to re-register as Democrats in order to vote against Bowman, as reported by CBS/Channel 2 news (link below).
• AIPAC will spend millions, including from wealthy Republican donors, inside a Democratic primary that will include Republicans and conservatives as voters.

Can you help us shut down this effort to subvert an election by chipping in to support Congressman Bowman now?

Bowman has all the right people out to get him. But does that prove he's doing something good in Congress? No. But he is doing good. In fact, Bowman is a leader for peace, education, racial justice, workers' rights, environmental protection, and healthcare.
