Activism Time to pressure Killer Kamala!

Now that vice president Kamala Harris looks to be the next democratic presidential candidate, it is time to remind her how unequivocally pro Palestine her voter base is. We need an email campaign and we need a protest campaign, we need to apply pressure in every single way.

Below is the Email information for contacting Kamala Harris, every single American who gives a fuck about Palestine needs to send an email to Kamala Harris. Please share this so as many people can see this as possible. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

She is notably more critical of Israel than Biden is. The question is whether this will lead to a change in foreign aid or not.

I agree she is less supportive of Israel but I’ve been trying to find prior statements from her to this effect. I’m not coming up with much. If you know of anything please share. This very much will inform my decision to campaign for her and donate.

I saw reporting on Democracy Now that some of her more Palestinian-sympathetic language was cut out of her speeches by the white house, and that she has been the more pro-palestinian voice in the room. The (real but not huge) differences between her and Biden are talked about here starting around minute 7: https://youtu.be/s0eR5rBsjtU?si=NlaKXcrhAqE-kdPI

Thank you! I’ll take any softening. It’s a step in the right direction. I really hate when people (pro Pals) shut down conversations with people just because they call themselves a Zionist. First that’s making a huge assumption about their definition of Zionism and second if there’s any chance of peace these are exactly the people we need to engage. Obviously I have a line and if someone is saying blatantly racist stuff I’m not that interested in engaging. But someone who is open to a conversation? Sure. Let’s chat it out.

No, she's good! I found a usatoday article with direct quotes from her calling for ceasefire and suggesting real limitations to israel when the "war" is over. She wants a two state solution and permanent ceasefire.
