Friends,
Congressman Ro Khanna has been one of the most outspoken leaders on the horrific situation in Gaza and the need for Democrats to shift their approach on the region. Tomorrow, I’ll be sitting down with him to discuss why.
The discussion will be hosted on our Word on the Street Substack, and you won’t want to miss it. Rep. Khanna – one of the boldest voices in Congress – has been willing to speak truths that many others still avoid. We’ll discuss:
- The moral and political stakes of Gaza, which he has called a defining issue of our generation.
- A letter he is promoting on recognition of Palestinian statehood and what it will take to move colleagues and moderates toward that position.
- Emerging opportunities to work across party lines on issues related to Gaza and the West Bank.

This won’t be a typical Washington conversation. We want to get past the soundbites and ask the harder questions: How do we move the center of gravity in the party to act with more conviction on our issues? How do we rebuild and reshape the Democratic Party? Where do our values take us from here?
This discussion will only be available for Substack subscribers. At 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific, subscribers will get an alert by email or in the app to view the full program. Make sure you're subscribed here so you don't miss out >>
Whether it’s through my weekly long-form thought pieces or our lively discussion series with guests like Rep. Khanna, what we’re building with Word on the Street is a space for the real, unvarnished conversations that usually happen behind closed doors – and I hope you join us.
Looking forward,
Jeremy Ben-Ami
President, J Street
