An Open Letter

From: A verified voter in Vancouver, WA
September 4
Stop the genocide.
When Black people were enslaved, most people in power did nothing.
They compromised. They justified. They got by.
When indigenous people were removed, killed, genocided with guns and with boarding schools, most leaders did nothing. They justified. They compromised. They got by.
During the holocaust, most people did not want to believe what was really going on. They denied. They minimized. Eventually, the truth became known and the United States did what was right.
And now? Are you compromising? Telling yourself that you are powerless? That you're doing all you can? It's not enough. The genocide in Gaza must stop. You must do more. What else have you not tried? We need to stand up for our own humanity by stopping the dehumanizing of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Stop the genocide.
