John,

The 2024 Democratic National Convention concluded in Chicago yesterday
with the Democratic Party refusing to invite a single Palestinian American
to speak on the main stage despite the Uncommitted Movement's courageous
efforts. This is a moral failure, and the Party must do better.

Justice Democrats Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Jamaal
Bowman, AOC, Ayanna Pressley, and Delia Ramirez called on Party leadership
to emulate its values and give Palestinians a voice at this historic
moment, standing in solidarity with Uncommitted delegates and the hundreds
of thousands of voters they represent.

their grief, their fear. They want to know the party is going to hear
them, to see them, and say that this big tent includes you too.” — Summer
Lee on Uncommitted Movement delegates’ treatment at DNC.

Our members have led on calling for a ceasefire from the start, and now an
arms embargo with Israel. These policies are not only popular — polls
indicate they’re crucial to helping Democrats defeat Donald Trump in key
swing states this November.

There is no excuse or justification for the lack of Palestinian
representation at this week’s convention, and we will not rest until the
Party listens to the majority of its voters and acts accordingly.

The convention may be over, but we continue to call for:

* The Democratic National Committee to reject endorsements and outside
spending from AIPAC;

* The Biden-Harris administration to stop sending bombs and weapons for
the Israeli military to carry out its genocide against innocent
Palestinians;

* The Harris-Walz campaign and the Democratic Party to firmly stand in
support of an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

save the soul of the Democratic Party, consider pitching in a grassroots
contribution of $5 or more today to fuel our work in the
days ahead.

We are disappointed, but we will not be discouraged or distraught. Our
collective fight for peace and human rights for ALL people must go on.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
