Their endorsement statement is
powerful and we want to share it in its
entirety:
“The
American Arab and Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) is pleased
to announce its endorsement for the 2024 presidential election.
This year’s
elections are exceptional and very challenging. In the past we have
supported a candidate from one of the two major parties. This is an
electoral cycle where AMPAC exercised the utmost patience and
exhausted all means of dialogue, discussions, and conversation with
the Harris campaign and the Trump campaign, to no avail.
The ongoing
genocidal war against the occupied Palestinians in Gaza and the West
Bank and its extension to Lebanon has been the prime issue of concern
to Muslim and Arab American voters. The community wants a ceasefire in
Gaza and in Lebanon. Neither of the two campaigns promised a
ceasefire. AMPAC could not endorse Harris or Trump.
We have
decided to endorse the Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill
Stein. We did not endorse Dr. Stein on account of her gender or faith.
It is policies, priorities, and values that matter to us. Dr. Stein
does not only support an immediate ceasefire, she is a principled
candidate that supports peace and justice in the region. The Arab and
Muslim vote is not in the pocket of any political party. We urge Arab
and Muslim voters to support the candidate whose positions, values and
priorities they support.”
Friend,
these important endorsements demonstrate that voters who reject both
genocidal duopoly candidates are taking the red line to the ballot box
with Stein/Ware. Can you dig deep today to help us get ads out all
around the nation so that people know they have the choice to vote for
the only anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate emergency ticket of
Stein/Ware?
