36,000 lives lost in Gaza

Dr. Pamela Pugh has joined us in solidarity to fight for what is right and just, which is an immediate ceasefire and an end to all U.S. weapons transfers to the government of Israel. [Pamela Pugh for Congress]( Salaams, {NAME}, This Eid Al Adha was very painful for our Muslim families across the globe as the suffering continues in Gaza, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria and more. There is a heavy burden weighing down our spirits. We feel the weight of oppression and injustice in our hearts as our minds are focused on the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Many of us have family members or friends who have lost their lives, their homes, and their literal foundations. And nowhere in America is that burden felt more deeply than in Michigan. Thankfully, candidates are running for Congress in 2024, like my sister, Dr. Pamela Pugh, who, as an unapologetic Black woman, has joined us in solidarity to fight for what is right and just, which is an immediate ceasefire and an end to all U.S. weapons transfers to the government of Israel. Over 65% of Americans want a ceasefire, yet dark money groups like AIPAC are spending millions upon millions in primary elections around the country to try and silence pro-ceasefire voices in Congress like mine and prevent candidates like Dr. Pamela Pugh from reaching Washington D.C. in the first place.

Eid Mubarak, Rep. Rashida Tlaib --------------------------------------------------------------- I’m Dr. Pamela Pugh, and I’m a Saginaw native running for Congress in Michigan's 8th District. I've spent my career fighting to improve the lives of Michigan residents through public health initiatives, and as the Chief Public Health Advisor for Flint I played a pivotal role in standing alongside Flint residents during the water crisis. As a public servant, I currently serve as the President of the Michigan State Board of Education, a statewide elected position. I believe in standing up for the people and fighting for our democracy, our children, and our future. I've lived in Michigan's 8th District for my entire life and it will be the honor of a lifetime to represent my community in the House of Representatives. I'm relying on grassroots contributions to fuel my campaign to victory — [so please chip in what you can right now!]( Our email list is an important tool for us to reach Democrats and activists in Michigan and around the country.
