As the only Palestinian-American in the Illinois legislature—and one of just a few across the country—Abdelnasser is a powerful voice for justice that opponents are determined to silence. AIPAC and its affiliates have promised to spend millions to defeat candidates like him who are fighting against Israel's genocide in Gaza. They are using lies and fearmongering to try to drown out the truth. To withstand these attacks and keep standing up for justice, he needs the resources to fight back.
Abdelnasser has introduced legislation to repeal Illinois' shameful anti-boycott law that supports Israeli apartheid. He has successfully stopped deeply problematic ADL legislation that targets protestors and dissent. All while passing and supporting critical legislation to provide economic relief to families, protect our environment, improve the quality of education, and tackle the cost of housing. Abdelnasser has shown what principled leadership looks like.
Abdelnasser has spent years organizing, mentoring young leaders, and building the political infrastructure our communities need to not just participate—but to lead. He’s helped elect new voices, passed legislation that delivers for working families, and opened doors that were once closed to us.
Now, Abdelnasser is being targeted by powerful interests who want to silence his advocacy and stop our momentum. We can’t let that happen.
If you believe in justice for Palestine, if you believe in representation that fights for our interests, and if you believe in building long-term power for our communities—then this is your fight, too.
Chip in today to reelect Rep. Rashid and keep building a movement rooted in justice, courage, and community.
