John,

Justice Democrats incumbent Rep. Ro Khanna of California is amplifying the ceasefire movement and urging President Biden and his fellow members of Congress to back a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

As the estimated Palestinian death toll surpasses 23,000 people, with injuries nearing 60,000 people, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza grows worse each and every day that goes by, as millions of people (many of whom are children) are subjected to bombs, bullets, starvation, and the spread of disease.

As Ro rightly pointed out in an interview with Common Dreams last week, "Every international humanitarian organization is begging the United States for the war to stop… It is a matter of conscience."

If President Biden and Congress don’t change course, Ro warns, "this is going to be a dividing issue for the Democratic Party for the future, like the Iraq War was... And I think the window is rapidly closing to be on the right side of history."

Ro is right. We need more leaders in Congress and the Biden Administration to stop supporting and funding a genocide against innocent Palestinians. While our ceasefire movement grows, pro-war groups like AIPAC are attacking our progressive incumbents with $100 million to unseat them in the 2024 Democratic primaries.

Stand with Justice Democrats today as we keep up the fight to re-elect pro-peace Democrats leading the way on demanding a ceasefire: pitch in $3 or whatever you can afford to fuel our critical work this year.
