Say NO to a VP candidate that attacks Palestine advocacy Dear Email, Having officially clinched the Democratic nomination for President, Vice President Harris has signaled she will be announcing her running mate this coming week. While there are several candidates, among them Gov. Andy Beshear, Sen. Mark Kelly, Gov. Jay Robert “J.B.” Pritzker, and Gov. Tim Walz, no candidate represents a more staunchly Zionist, pro-Israel and pro-genocide agenda than Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania. Join us in telling VP Harris to say “no” to Pro Genocide Josh as her running mate.  On Friday, The Philadelphia Inquirer uncovered a racist anti-Palestinian article written by Governor Shapiro in his college newspaper, where he would describe Palestinians as “too battle-minded” to coexist with Israel, call Arabs as “belligerent,” and claim that Palestinians could not “establish their own homeland” “even with the aid of Israel and the United States.” More recently, Shapiro has antagonized and attacked pro-Palestinian student protestors, comparing them to the “KKK” and perpetuated rhetoric that has enabled the genocide of possibly 186,000 Palestinians in Gaza as well as anti-Palestinian racism across the United States. VP Harris cannot allow such a blatantly racist and pro-genocide candidate to be appointed to the second highest office in the country. As AJP-Action, we join many in calling on VP Harris to avoid a divisive figure like Shapiro as her running mate and appoint someone that cares for all Americans. We need your help to urgently call on Harris to chart a new path and avoid Pro Genocide Josh as her running mate. Join us this weekend in calling on VP Harris to choose a running mate that will avoid alienating the pro-Palestinian community and human rights advocates she needs to vote for her. Click here to email her this weekend before she announces her choice! Together, we can push VP Harris to move away from Biden’s policy on Gaza.
In solidarity,
