In 2015, my three best friends were killed in a hate crime. In 2020, I became the first Muslim woman elected to office in NC—ever.
Now I'm running for Congress to carry on their legacy. I'm fighting for economic and racial justice—and a brighter future for #NC06. ☀️ #NidaForNC

I want to highlight & uplift @marciahmorey. The ONLY person who hadn’t endorsed me, at the time, that reached out to check in on mine & the Muslim community's well-being during the height of the Islamophobic attacks. Electeds like her make our communities safer & seen. 🧡

.@NidaAllam: The grassroots campaign you ran was centered on love and real people. They can't stop you. I remember when I didn't win a state senate race + it just motivated me to keep fighting. Now I am a Congresswoman.
You are not done, Nida. You are just getting started.
Woke up this morning feeling reenergized and ready to continue the fight!
At 28 years old & 7 months pregnant we gave super pacs a run for their money!
And this little girl kicking in my belly NEEDS each and every one of us to keep fighting for #ABrighterFuture

Congratulations to @NidaAllam on a very strong run for Congress. She won the most populous county in the district, Durham. Despite super PACs dumping $4 million into the district against her, she built a powerful grassroots movement. Her future is bright.

This election showed just how powerful we are. Right-wing super PACs and a billionaire living in the Bahamas had to spend over $3.6 million to defeat our movement in one election. That is the power that we have built.

They had to spend more money than anyone has ever spent in the history of a Congressional primary in North Carolina in order to win this race.

Right wing billionaires and Islamophobes are scared of our movement, and that gives me hope, because it means we are organizing to deliver real change for our working families.

Our work in North Carolina is just beginning - we must flip the Senate in November, and do all we can to turn out young people and people of color to vote for @CheriBeasleyNC! Onward. ✊🏾☀️

In #NC04 we've been knocking on doors talking to voters all across this district who normally don't get reached by the Dem Party. We're proud of the deep conversations we've had with voters face-to-face about @NidaAllam and are inspired by stories shared
Organizing matters.
