<[link removed]>Friend,
I wanted to make sure you saw this new poll of Muslim American voters from the Council on American-Islamic Relations showing our campaign at 29% - tied with Kamala Harris!
We're grateful for the strong support of Muslim voters who share with us the determination to end genocide in Gaza, and the injustice faced by our Muslim friends. We urge all people of conscience to resist the propaganda telling you to hold your nose and vote for genocide. If you vote for genocide, you are actively consenting to it and enabling it. Don’t let them talk you out of your humanity. Stopping genocide is the moral imperative of our time.
Voting against genocide is a practical imperative as well. Half a million Palestinian lives hang in the balance from starvation imposed by Israel, according to the UN. Now polio and cholera are intensifying the threat.
Every vote against genocide is a shot across the bow of empire, announcing that its days are numbered and that the opposition is getting organized. This builds the pressure for a ceasefire and a weapons embargo, and brings the day closer when we will achieve them.
As Frederick Douglass said, power concedes nothing without a demand. Your vote is that demand. Voting for the lesser evil disappears your opposition to genocide. In fact, there is no lesser evil. In this race we have two greater evil choices. We say forget the lesser evil and fight for the greater good - like our lives depend on it. Because they do.
The political elites want you to think you are small and powerless, and that resistance is futile. This is a propaganda campaign to disarm you. In fact, a large majority of Americans want an immediate ceasefire and diplomatic solution to the genocide on Gaza. On top of that, one in three eligible voters didn’t vote in 2020, with those voters being mostly low-income, people of color and young - the very voters our anti-genocide, pro-worker agenda speaks to by calling for an end to genocide now, a weapons embargo to Israel, a $25 minimum wage, health care as a human right through medicare for all, free public higher education, national rent control, reparations, and an end to mass incarceration and police violence. We can pay for these programs by cutting the massive bloated military budget and requiring the rich to pay their fair share of taxes.
We can have an America that works for all of us. It begins by ending the genocide and moving from a militarized foreign policy to a new foreign policy based on international law, human rights and diplomacy - and moving the trillions squandered on endless war to the urgent needs of the American people here at home.
The Muslim-American community has the experience, the insight and the moral fiber to stand up and lead the way. Together with students, Jews, Christians and people of faith and humanity, we are an unstoppable force for a world that works for all of us. We must build that world starting now.
Please join us in building a peaceful, just, green world by volunteering today:
