AMPAC Endorses Dr. Jill Stein for President
The American Arab and Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) is excited to share its endorsement of Dr. Jill Stein for the upcoming presidential election. This decision comes at a crucial time when the political landscape presents unique challenges and opportunities for the Arab and Muslim communities in the United States.
A Shift in Political Support
This election cycle has prompted AMPAC to reevaluate its traditional support for the two major political parties. In dialogues with the Harris and Trump campaigns, it became clear that neither candidate has adequately addressed the pressing concerns of our community. The ongoing humanitarian crises, particularly in conflict areas, have not been met with the necessary urgency by these campaigns.
Humanitarian Crisis Awareness
The AMPAC community expresses deep concern for the situation in regions such as Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. Our members emphasize the critical need for a ceasefire and immediate humanitarian assistance. Regrettably, neither campaign has provided viable solutions to these urgent issues, leading AMPAC to seek an alternative path.
