Let’s show that organized people can beat organized money.

Justice Democrats

Our next two 2026 primary elections are happening TODAY in Illinois, where AIPAC and its allies have spent more than $11 MILLION against our candidates.

We need you in these final hours before polls close: will you fuel our work with a grassroots donation now?

A Justice Democrats graphic promoting the 2026 Illinois primary elections for districts 08 and 09. It features side-by-side photos of candidates Junaid Ahmed and Kat Abughazaleh, with their names displayed below their images. Large text reads “VOTE MARCH 17.” Smaller text at the bottom says “Support the Slate” with the website justicedemocrats.com. The background includes stylized images of the U.S. Capitol.

AIPAC thought they could buy an entire Congressional delegation in IL, but their money is so toxic that they see the writing on the wall. Now, they’re shifting the goalposts ahead of the final results to get ahead of their potential losses.

Now AIPAC says their goal is to stop any potential new Squad members. That includes Justice Democrats Junaid Ahmed in IL-08 and Kat Abughazaleh in IL-09.

Screenshot of a tweet from Marc Rod (@marcrod97) that reads: “A source close to AIPAC says the group's main goal in Chicago is stopping who it sees as 6 potential Squad members: Robert Peters, Kina Collins, Junaid Ahmed, Yasmeen Bankole, Kat Abughazaleh and Bushra Amiwala. That's an apparent strategy shift from the NJ-11 special election.”

The Israel lobby group knows that voters want nothing to do with them or their pro-genocide, pro-war policies. That’s why they panicked and funneled millions through shell PACs to spread misinformation in these two competitive primaries.

AIPAC knows that if they actually talked about their deeply unpopular platform or attached themselves by name to these candidates, they would lose.

Junaid and Kat are ready to join our progressive bloc in Congress and fight for working people, including ending U.S. tax dollars funding Israel’s genocide in Gaza, opposing the war in Iran, and passing the bold change we need, like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.

Their opponents are bought and paid for by AIPAC, Big Tech, and other corporate interests, so who do you think they’ll fight for in Congress?

Our candidates may be outspent, but this is the perfect opportunity to show that organized people can beat organized money at the ballot box.

Please, pitch in any amount today to fuel our last-minute efforts to get out the vote for Kat and Junaid, and show AIPAC that their days of buying our elections are over.
