Call for immediate ceasefire and arms embargo

I am writing with deep concern as early voting begins. We are at a critical moment, and the decisions your administration makes now will shape the future for generations. Vice President Harris, this election is yours to lose. But your stance on the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza risks alienating many who are looking to you for leadership grounded in justice, humanity, and courage. What is happening in Gaza is not just a military conflict—it is genocide. Israeli settlers are openly calling for the colonization of Gaza, while healthcare workers, aid workers, and journalists are being targeted. Hospitals are running out of supplies, and ambulances are being bombed. The violence is now expanding into Lebanon, threatening to destabilize the entire region. This cannot continue. The U.S. must immediately call for a ceasefire, enforce an arms embargo, and suspend all military aid to prevent further loss of civilian life. Every day without these actions signals tacit approval of these atrocities. Your administration has the power to stop the killing by leveraging diplomacy and withholding military support. The world is watching, and so are American voters. We want leadership that puts human life above geopolitical interests, that recognizes that accountability is not optional, and that champions peace and justice for all people. There is no future in endless war and occupation. Please act now—demand a ceasefire, halt arms transfers, and vote for peace. Anything less will not be forgotten. If you fail to act, you risk losing this election—and the consequences will be devastating. Can you live with that, knowing the outcome? You warn us of how dangerous another Trump presidency would be, yet you have the power *right now* to prevent that by standing on the side of justice. Awful things are happening under your leadership. How can we trust your words when your actions support this ongoing violence? If you allow this to continue, you will lose the trust of the people—and ultimately, the election. Will that burden rest easily on your conscience?
