Stop denying Palestinian-Americans — Let Them Speak
To: Sen. Schumer
From: A constituent in New York, NY
August 22
Stop silencing Palestinian voices. Let them speak.
I wholeheartedly agree with representative Ilhan Omar's statement that, “If we lose Michigan by a hair… it will be hard not to conclude that a reason why is because we did not treat these people with respect they deserve and instead just wished they’d go away and stop complaining.” It should be very clear to you that the movement for Palestinian liberation, and an end to Israel's genocidal war is not a passing "trend" or something that's going to disappear. We've been here protesting in every form we have available, and our numbers have only grown. There's a reason the Uncommitted Movement organically grew to what it looks like today with uncommitted delegates protesting the DNC's actions.
