<[link removed]>Friend,

All week long, the nation watched as the true base of the Democratic Party – billionaires, celebrities, national security figureheads and “moderate Republicans” – repeatedly assured us that Kamala Harris will be a different kind of president. A president of “joy.”

But I found little room for joy in Harris’ speech Thursday night.

Instead, it revealed a great deal about what we can expect if Kamala Harris becomes president – and none of it is good.

In a speech that could have easily been delivered by Genocide Joe himself, Harris promised to:

- Sign Biden’s inhumane, militarized “bipartisan border bill” with 80% of the funding allocated to hardening border security and DOUBLING the number of border patrol agents.


- “Ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world” with unchecked resources for the Pentagon to continue waging “wars around the world” (to quote our current president).


- Unconditionally supply Israel with endless weapons, as she repeated Israel’s discredited propaganda around the October 7th attacks and pointedly ignored the widespread reports of Israeli soldiers using sexual violence, physical and psychological torture against illegally incarcerated Palestinian prisoners.

Harris absurdly claimed that she and Biden are “working around the clock” to secure a ceasefire for Gaza – even as they’ve authorized another $23 BILLION in arms for Israel in August alone.

Now we learn that the Biden-Harris administration has appointed Mira Resnick, perhaps the most hands-on State Department official involved in speedrunning weapons to Israel since October 7th, to replace Andrew Miller – the 1st official to resign in protest over Gaza.

Harris’ empire of lies delivered on Thursday night firmly established that “nothing will fundamentally change.”

Harris made it clear that she intends to continue this reckless path of capitalistic exploitation and global militarism, even fanning the flames with China and Iran as tens of thousands of the party faithful waved signs and shouted “USA! USA!”

I find no “joy” in any of this.

There are material conditions that must be urgently addressed for this country to meet the basic needs of its citizens and take us off this death march into World War III and climate collapse. NONE of those policy solutions were present in Harris’ speech.

Instead we were promised more of the same. And much like Biden before her, that may prove to be the one promise that Kamala Harris keeps.

Harris has shown her true colors, and we have an urgent choice to make this November.

There is only one campaign with a path to the White House this November that will set us on a radically different course – one that will end the genocide in Gaza and implement an immediate arms embargo on Israel.

There is only one campaign with the credibility to address the climate emergency with the urgency it demands. And there is only one campaign with a radically transformative economic vision that will lift millions out of poverty and build a society free of injustice, inequity, hunger, and want.

There is only one campaign that is challenging empire both at home and abroad – ours. In just over two months, we will make our voices heard at the ballot box.

<[link removed]>DONATE NOW <[link removed]>The deliberate exclusion of Palestinian voices and sidelining of their allies from the DNC throughout the week was not an accident. It’s a continuation of the pattern of silencing and crushing dissent.

This week, millions of voters saw the truth about the Democratic agenda. We need those voters to know that they have another choice this November. <[link removed]>

In solidarity and gratitude,

Jill
