Layla Elabed urges Harris "change her policies if you want our vote" 8/9/2024

                                   Layla Elabed urges Harris "change her policies if you want our vote"

Recently, Layla Elabed of the National Movement met briefly with Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate faces growing pressure to define her platform on Palestine. Elabed spoke with Harris before her rally in Michigan, urging her to support a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo on Israel.
Michigan voters want to support you, Vice President Harris, but we need a policy change that will save lives in Gaza right now. Our community members are losing tens, even hundreds, of family members. We need more than sympathy or empathy; we need action. We are asking if you will engage with us about an arms embargo and meet with those of us who are uncommitted.
Layla Elabed expressed the urgency of this issue, stating, “Right now, we need a policy change that will save lives. Until that happens, I don’t see Michigan voters coming to support Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the general election. We are demanding that this collective punishment of Palestinians end. We need a policy change that will protect our family members, our loved ones, and our people in Gaza right now. We want an end to this unconditional, unchecked flow of weapons and funding from our American taxpayer dollars to a far-right-wing government.”
It is time for a shift in policy that prioritizes saving lives and ending the suffering in Gaza.
