Tell GOP Leadership to Stop Attacking Muslim Congresswomen

The same anti-Muslim forces have attacked every American Muslim who dares enter political life.

They've politicized human rights atrocities suffering by Jewish people and 9/11 in the name of smearing brave congresswoman like Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

It must stop. These attacks have real consequences for American Muslims, who are being attacked at their homes, in the streets, and at their houses of worship.

Anyone who thinks America should be a place where people of any religion can be able to live their lives free from discrimination should stand up against these anti-Muslim attacks from congressional leaders and the White House.

Why is this important?

As an American, I'm offended when people try to politicize 9/11. I'm deeply offended when people try to politicize global human rights atrocities suffered by Jewish people.

There's a clear right wing anti-Muslim agenda that tries to paint American Muslims as anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ, and pro-terrorism. They are trying to divide Americans--and progressives in particular--and it's up to allies to speak up and speak out against this bigotry when we see it.
