John,
Over the weekend, President Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place as the Democratic nominee.
We are in unprecedented times. But the demands of our constituents and people across the country remain the same: They want a President and government that is focused on saving lives, giving people the ability to thrive, and valuing the humanity of one another over bombs and genocide.
Kamala Harris and other potential presidential candidates must reconnect with our Democratic base in order to defeat Donald Trump and the dangerous implications of Project 2025.
The people who make up our Democratic base have been clear: They want to see a permanent ceasefire, an end to the funding of genocide in Gaza, and an arms embargo to stop the Israeli government’s war crimes. They want to see fair and humane immigration policies, not ones that vilify immigrants. They want to see a clear path to ending fossil fuel subsidies that continue to poison our air and water. They want to see an end to our inhumane healthcare system and an end to the attempts to dismantle our public education system. They want us to fight against corporate greed, strengthen unions, and lift families out of the cycle of poverty.
Sign the petition today to Vice President Kamala Harris: Please listen to the Democratic base and come out strong on issues including Palestine, immigration, fossil fuels, healthcare, poverty, and more.
As Jewish Voice for Peace Action wrote yesterday:
“The Democratic nominee must immediately change course by calling for an arms embargo on the Israeli government and establishing a foreign policy centered in human rights… The only way to reach the lasting ceasefire that the overwhelming majority of Americans are demanding is for the U.S. to finally exert pressure on Netanyahu’s regime by ending the flow of weapons to the Israeli government. It has never been more clear that the Democratic party must start listening to its own base.”
Thank you for taking action and continuing to demand a government of, by, and for the people.
In solidarity,
Rashida
