And I know that rhetoric can have real consequences
Hey Jason, it's Nida Allam running for Congress in NC-04 and I've officially "made it". An anti-Muslim organization with its conspiracy-theorist figurehead have started attacking me and my campaign.
My fight for a living wage, affordable healthcare, a great public education, and a livable planet is setting off alarm bells because the far-right know how popular these things are, and they are terrified by the power of the people fighting for the future we deserve.
I know that hateful speech and rhetoric can have real-world consequences. In 2015, my three friends were murdered in a hate crime in Chapel Hill, targeted for their Muslim faith. Today, I'm running today to carry on their legacies of service – regardless of what this Twitter troll has to say about it.
I'm not backing down in the face of hate, and we can step up now to send an overpowering response of 1,000 new donors by 11:59 pm, and prove we won't surrender in the face of hate. Would you join me right now by splitting a contribution between my campaign and Leaders We Deserve?

This Twitter mouthpiece also compares me to Zohran Mamdani – what a compliment! Because aside from also having to deal with constant attacks on his platform and identity like me, you know what else Zohran Mamdani did? He won.
And that's exactly what we're going to do, Jason, and no amount of conspiracy-laced vitriol is going to stop our grassroots power.
We're on a roll, we have momentum, and now we just need you. Would you make a split contribution now between my progressive, outsider campaign and Leaders We Deserve to power us to victory?
Thank you for standing with me,
Nida Allam
