Let’s make sure this year’s platforms support Palestinian rightsDear Supporter, After much uncertainty due to the coronavirus, the Democratic and Republican Parties have set their plans for their national conventions to nominate their candidates for president. The Democratic National Convention will be meeting in Milwaukee, August 17-20, and the Republican National Convention will be meeting in Charlotte and Jacksonville, August 24-27. Part of the national convention process is the writing of the party platform, an extremely important document which guides the policies of the party’s elected officials for the next four years. It’s our job to tell the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) to support Palestinian rights in their platforms, and we need you to take action today!

Join AMP and its chapters tomorrow, Friday, July 3, for prayers and protests in the following cities opposing Israeli annexation.

The DNC just announced that you can add your voice to its 2020 platform by recording 
Although the RNC already announced that it will be re-adopting its 2016 platform this year and not having a new platform drafting process, it’s still important for us to let the party know that Palestinian rights should be included in their platform as well!
As a nonprofit organization, AMP is not allowed to support or oppose particular political parties or candidates, but we are permitted to try to get the parties to adopt our policy positions--and we’ll be attempting to do that between now and November.
