Democrats failed to turn out the voters who propelled them to victory in 2020.

That is in part because Democratic leadership, including President Biden and VP Harris, failed to listen to their core voters who were demanding an end to US support for Israel's genocide in Gaza.

For months the polling has shown that Vice President Harris was costing herself votes she needed - from young people, women, people of color, and progressive voters - by not breaking with Biden and by failing to call for an end of weapons to Israel in accordance with US law.

The majority of Americans do not want their tax dollars funding Israel’s war crimes. The US should ensure Americans can afford healthcare, housing, and childcare, not spend billions on bombs to kill Palestinian families.

It is time for Democratic leadership to listen to and align with the people who power the Democratic Party, and who know the principles of human rights and justice for all must include Palestinians.

Another Donald Trump presidency is a threat to those principles here and abroad.

The movement for Palestinian rights and freedom is not going anywhere. Millions of people in the US and around the world are still demanding an end of the failed status quo, and an end to decades of impunity for Israel’s aggression, apartheid, land theft, and genocide.

We cannot wait until January while Israel continues to use our tax dollars to kill and starve thousands of more people in Gaza. Biden should, in his remaining days in office, finally listen to the American people, follow US law, and cut off weapons to Israel immediately.

When Congress reconvenes next week, the Senate will be voting for the first time in history to block $20 billion of weapons to Israel. Every single Senator should vote to block this illegal weapons transfer.
