John,
The Democratic National Convention has wrapped up in Chicago and pro-ceasefire delegates and activists were denied a voice at this pivotal moment.
The denial of Palestinian voices is devastating for the millions of families impacted by the ongoing genocide, but it is also blind to the electoral implications.
A new poll from IMEU (Institute for Middle East Understanding) shows that in the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona, Democrats, Independents, and young people are much more likely to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris for President if she and the Democratic Party embrace a ceasefire and an arms embargo to Israel.
Instead of funding mass death, Democrats should be ending poverty and investing in Americans’ needs like housing and healthcare.
Sign now to call on Democrats up and down the ballot to demonstrate their alignment with Democratic voters, including by pushing for an arms embargo to stop the Israeli government’s war crimes.
As the top funder and weapons supplier for Israel’s military, our government has the needed leverage to stop the slaughter of Palestinians now. Instead, the Biden administration has just approved a $20 billion weapons sale to the Israeli military including fighter jets, high explosive mortars, and more.
We need leaders in our party to listen to the Democratic base and immediately support an arms embargo, fair and humane immigration policies, affordable housing and healthcare, lifting families out of the cycle of poverty, and more.
The U.S. is the wealthiest nation in the world, but most American families live paycheck to paycheck, and more continue to experience homelessness as rents and home prices skyrocket.
Democratic leaders who want to defeat Donald Trump must reconnect with our Democratic base around the country, who want to see more courage and urgency from the Democratic Party.
Add your name now and demand Democrats up and down the ballot listen to the Democratic base, including by pushing for an arms embargo to stop the Israeli government’s war crimes.
Thank you for continuing to push for the promises of a multiracial democracy, with a truly representative government that reflects the American people’s priorities.
In solidarity and service,
Rashida
