  MI Arab American, Palestinian, and Middle Eastern leaders endorse Kamala Harris for President

DEARBORN MI – Announcement: We are Arab American, Democrats, and Republicans, business and fraternal leaders, auto workers and religious activists.

We are founders of major political, human service, and community organizations. We are Muslims, Christians and other faith denominations.

We have worked in a number of progressive coalitions that have helped better America - in the areas of civil rights, civil liberties, peace, anti-discrimination, workers, and women's rights. Through these coalitions, we have developed partnerships in the struggle for peace and justice.

Despite our deep disappointment and anger with the Biden administration’s failed Middle East policies, we will not abandon our coalition partners. They share our horror over the killings and massive devastation in Gaza and Lebanon. They have stood with us in protest as we have stood with them.

As we see it, the stakes in this November’s election are high for all Americans who care about peace, justice, and equity. It can be called an Armageddon election - one in which our very democracy and way of life will be on the ballot. There are profound and compelling differences between the two main candidates.

Donald Trump has called for a Muslim ban, the arrest and deportation of 11 million hard-working immigrants who contribute to our economy and internment camps. His xenophobia, bigotry, divisive rhetoric, and incitement to violence, present a real threat to all Americans. He has not demonstrated any compassion for Palestinians, has not called for a cease-fire and has, instead, urged Netanyahu to “finish the job.”

Kamala Harris, on the other hand, from the earliest days of the war, has made clear her concern for Palestinian suffering. She was the first to call for a ceasefire and also to call for Palestinian self-determination. We would have hoped that she would have distanced herself from Biden’s failed policies, but as a sitting vice president, we understand her hesitance.

But Arab Americans are not a single-issue people, we care about the environment, an existential issue for families and children, workers, rights and a fair wage, civil rights, women's rights and so much more.

Deputy Wayne County Executive Assad I. Turfe, (Detroit-Michigan), emphasized the importance of this moment:

"Next year, we will have a new president. We need a leader that will govern with compassion, care, and a genuine commitment to listening to Arab Americans—and who will work tirelessly to end this war— That leader is Kamala Harris. Now is the time to unite and ensure that we elect someone who truly values peace and justice," Turfe said.

With all of this, we are here to make clear that this November we will be voting with the progressive coalition for Kamala Harris.
