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 šŸ‡µšŸ‡ø

Let's give her a chance to clarify her stance and policy man. Her campaign just started. I'm as jaded with politicians as you are but she is a step in the right direction from Biden.

Gaza activist where kicked out of a Kamala campaign event and white house offices confirmand that she will be a friend to Israel, you really think Genocide Joe's vp who taken nearly 200 thousandĀ from AIPAC is going to be even pro ceasefire without some serious motivation

Just want to point out that this is a bit misleading. According to Open Secrets, from 1990 to 2024 Kamala Harris has received approximately $182k total from AIPAC affiliated PACs/donors. You may be confusing this stat with Joe Bidenā€™s, who has received over $5 mil in that same time period.

I "millions" was more of a way to say "a lot" and I should be more specific in the future

Iā€™d certainly prefer it if candidates never accepted any donations related to Israel (or any other foreign government for that matter), but in the scheme of things, $182k over a 34 year period is peanuts in the world of campaign financing, and not what I would call a lot. According to OpenSecrets, ā€œPro-Israelā€ is listed in the top 20 among industry donors to Trumpā€™s 2024 campaign, with approximately $2.7 mil donated. Prior to Biden dropping out, Pro-Israel wasnā€™t even listed among the top 20 industry donors to his campaign. We also know that Harris raised over $81 mil from grassroots donations on ActBlue just in the first 24 hours of her taking over the top of the ticket. In comparison, $182k over 34 years truly seems minuscule when you look at her massive fundraising numbers the last two days from regular folks.

She is still extremely pro Israel, that is unacceptableĀ
