Justice Democrats

Did you see Summer's tweet on Sunday, John?

Quote Tweet from Summer Lee: Narratives like this are intentionally spread to drive a wedge between marginalized communities and undermine authentic solidarity + ally ship. But also, true solidarity isn’t transactional. These attempts to shame the Blk community into unconditional support are problematic. Stop.  AP Tweet: Black American solidarity with Palestinians is rising and testing longstanding ties to Jewish allies

She rightfully called out the mainstream media for criticizing Black Americans showing solidarity with the people of Palestine.

It’s a harmful narrative meant to divide us, but like Summer said: solidarity and allyship with our Jewish and Palestinian siblings are NOT mutually exclusive.

We can stand up against antisemitic attacks on Jewish people everywhere while demanding an end to the abhorrent human rights abuses and indiscriminate bombing against Palestinians.

That’s exactly what our Justice Democrats’ incumbents in the Squad are doing, and it’s why we need to protect and build upon our diverse, young, working-class, bloc of progressives in Congress.

Do not worry if you cannot afford to make a contribution — we understand that this is a difficult time.

There are other ways to make an impact in support of peace and equality in Israel and Palestine: please urge your member of Congress to support a ceasefire through Adalah Justice Project’s petition or by calling them using Jewish Voice for Peace’s dialer here. Your voice matters in this critical moment.
