Stand in solidarity with Rep. Ilhan Omar
U.S. Congress
Racist attacks and threats against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar have no place in our democracy.
People can disagree on policy in good faith and critique one another for differing views. But the recent hatred directed at Rep. Omar -- on television, over Twitter, from the stages of political rallies -- distorts the facts, spreads lies about her statements and her background, and has led to a dramatic increase in violent threats against her and the Muslim American community.
We the People will not stand for these intentional efforts to divide and distract us -- while Trump and his associates undermine our democracy to enrich themselves. It’s because of her leadership, as well as her identity as the first Black Muslim woman in Congress, that she is being targeted.
Every elected official who wants to see a more representative, reflective democracy has an obligation to condemn this blatant defamation. That’s why we're calling on all members of Congress to stand with Rep. Omar and against bigoted rhetoric.Sponsored by

President Trump and far-right media outlets have launched a racist onslaught aimed at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. We call on all members of Congress to speak out against these attacks -- and stand with Rep. Omar against bigoted rhetoric, policies, and violence.
