The Uncommitted National Movement says Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has failed to meet with the Americans in Michigan who have lost family members in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The organization says that it cannot support her campaign or endorse her for president as she did not do so before their established Sept. 15 deadline.

“At the conclusion of our historic sit-in at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Uncommitted National Movement leaders asked Vice President Harris to respond by September 15 to requests to meet with Palestinian American families in Michigan who lost loved ones to US-supplied bombs in Gaza and to discuss our demands for halting arms to the Israeli government and securing a permanent ceasefire,” the organization posted.

The organization posted further with a statement reads that “the Uncommitted National Movement announces that as we continue advocating for life saving policy change which ends the bombing of Gaza and ends us support for the Israeli military's war crimes, Vice President Harris's unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy, or to even make a clear campaign statement in support of upholding existing US and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her.”

The statement continues by saying it cannot endorse Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The group also does not want to promote a third-party alternative because it says, “Votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency, given our country's broken electoral college system.”

The statement concludes by calling on all “stakeholders in the Democratic Party coalition: progressive civil rights, labor, racial justice, reproductive rights, climate, immigrant rights, disability justice, people of faith, young people and more” to move the Democratic leadership to a policy of “not another bomb” for Israel.

Pro-Palestinian protesters at the Democratic National Convention called Harris “Killer Kamala.” She has tried to distance herself from the policies of Biden, even as a foreign policy maven like John Bolton has said a Harris presidency would look “like four more years of Biden.”
