Statement on J Street U Party Platform Campaign

As Harvard Democrats, we’ve always fought for a Democratic Party that confronts questions of justice directly rather than shying away from them. Ahead of the 2020 Democratic Convention, we’re calling on DNC platform delegates to add language affirming the rights of Palestinians and condemning the unjust and illegal Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza to our party platform. No matter the government that forms in Israel, the Democratic Party must be clear about its values. We stand with J-Street U in their fight for our party platform to reflect the reality of the occupation.
