Brittany Packnett Instagram – “And if the [Mississippi] Freedom Democratic Party is not seated now, I question America.”
It has been 60 years since Fannie Lou Hamer and the MFDP were denied access to being seated as delegates at the DNC.
it dishonors her legacy to deny a Palestinian American a place on the stage. there is one day left, and I pray the hearts of the decision makers we can’t see are convicted to do what’s right.
The Polins, the Israeli-American family who tearfully compelled us all for a ceasefire as they spoke about their son Hersh being held hostage, said this:
“In our Jewish tradition, we say kol adam olam, every person is an entire universe. We must save all these universes. In an inflamed Middle East, we know the one thing that can most immediately release pressure and bring hope to the entire region, a deal that brings this diverse group of 109 hostages home and ends the suffering of the innocent civilians in Gaza.”
May the DNC hear their appeal, and see all the universes in us, allowing a Palestinian to speak from tonight’s stage.
it is the very least. The very least.
Edit: because I see some misunderstandings/info in the comments, I want to make sure we’re all working from the same set of facts: The Uncommitted movement does not want Trump to win—which is why they’ve been engaging with democrats and have specifically shared that VP Harris has been far more engaged and open. They did not specifically aim for Thursday-they’ve been trying for a min in good faith thru Democratic Palestinian lawmakers, hoping to give their base motivations to vote Harris based on democratic commitments. I, for one, value Palestinian lives and Black lives and want as many people as possible to feel like they can confidently vote for our VP. Uncommitted has not been publicly harassing Black people and chastising any of our support of Harris—and while I won’t demonize various people who have different strategies nor will I demonize Black folks who have been understandably frustrated by the actions of some, I want us to have the same facts. Because I’m not letting this psyop win.
I need Kamala Harris to win. | Posted on 22/Aug/2024 16:28:16
