An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Remove Hakeem Jeffries from Democratic Leadership

16 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Hakeem Jeffries needs to be removed from Democratic leadership. His decision to vote against the Massie amendment cutting U.S. aid to Israel — and his call for a "new security arrangement" to maintain Israel's military edge — puts him squarely at odds with the Democratic base and, frankly, with basic human decency. This isn't a fringe position. Dozens of House Democrats are expected to vote for the amendment. Jeffries is out of step with his own caucus. Democratic leadership should reflect Democratic voters, not shield a foreign policy that a growing majority of Americans oppose. Jeffries is functioning as a brake on accountability, not a voice for the people who put Democrats in office. The party cannot afford a minority leader who sides with the establishment over the base on one of the defining moral issues of this moment. Push for new leadership that actually represents where Democrats stand.
