AIPAC - the American Israel Public Affairs Committee - has been a hawkish and bullying force in U.S. politics for decades.
AIPAC is happy to burn down democracy in the U.S. in order to support apartheid in Israel. They have provided substantial monetary support for over 100 election-denying Republican candidates this past year alone. They also don't hesitate to get involved in Democratic primaries, always supporting the candidate they hope to be able to control the most.
This year AIPAC has promised to spend $100 million, or more, to defeat our progressive allies. In New York, they have expressly targeted AOC and Jamaal Bowman, two members of "the Squad" and long-time allies of NYPAN. AIPAC's hand-picked and well-financed challengers will naturally repay AIPAC for the favor and support Israel even if it damages America's standing in the world and continues the brutal repression and attacks on Palestine. But that is not all -- if AIPAC succeeds, our progressive incumbents will no longer be able to fight for Medicare for All, economic justice, the environment, and other important causes where the challengers are less progressive.
Join us for our AIPAC zoom forum and hear from our own Nina Turner, extraordinary progressive, who had her own race derailed by massive AIPAC spending. Other special guests are being finalized.
It's time we take AIPAC on, call them out, and support our progressives.
Join us by zoom on April 10th to find out how we plan to do that!
