End U​.​S. Support for Apartheid, Mass Death, and Forced Displacement

People in the U.S. are facing the fact that our government is funding and facilitating apartheid, mass death, and forced displacement with impunity and ignoring international law at will.

Nowhere is this more evident than witnessing the genocide that’s currently being perpetrated by the apartheid state of Israel with our funding and our armaments. People protest in mass to demand our leaders heed the recommendations of the United Nations and respect the rulings of the International Court of Justice with regard to Palestinians’ right to self-determination, yet apartheid and genocide continue.

In the 2024 election we’re rejecting the idea that we must continually vote for the “lesser evil”. We’re instead pledging to use our collective power to vote for no evil and put a stop to the intolerable evils of our time.

 

 

 

 

Vote Against More of the Same

We are banding together to forcefully reject apartheid, mass murder, and genocide as the people’s “red line”.

Genocide is an indisputable evil. We wholeheartedly reject the shameful mismanagement of our resources in funding it. We refuse to support candidates who’ll continue to arm apartheid regimes.

We’ve also been continually denied wildly popular social welfare programs at home due to costs. We see our fellow Americans giving up far too much of their time for too little pay and struggling beneath the weight of an ever-rising cost of living. We've seen too many families mourning preventable deaths since the onset of the pandemic. Folks are living paycheck to paycheck, working homeless, and/or food insecure, yet our government continues to tout the great the state of the economy instead of investing in communities to improve our quality of life. Meanwhile, our funds are made readily available for apartheid and genocide.

We all have the power to change this by voting our consciouses in the 2024 election.

Apartheid Silences the Will of the People

Apartheid takes the path of first systemically denying people their rights and from there marches steadily towards eventual dispossession and genocide, thus permanently silencing dissenting voices. So when we say in this 2024 election we’ll Vote No Evil, we’re doing so to take a stand against the very specific evils of apartheid and genocide evidenced by mass death and forced displacement.

We will only cast our votes for candidates that unequivocally call for an arms embargo, sanctions, and divestment from apartheid, and simultaneously call for the non-carceral reinvestment of our funds towards life sustaining programs both abroad and at home.

 

 

 

 

Reining in corporate greed and providing for American families should be our Commander in Chief’s top concern. We demand the redirection of our funds away from aiding illegal occupation, incarceration, and dispossession.

Now is Our Time

For many years there were multiple articles about the great political upheaval that was inevitable with the coming of age of Gen Z and younger generations with regard to U.S. politics. Finally, in the 2020 election the moment came, and Millennials and Gen Z came to represent 31% of the electorate.  In that election young people voted in record numbers, and continue to vote at a higher rate than previous generations. From 2019 on Gen X and younger generations became the majority voting block, with Boomers only accounting for 44% of the electorate in 2020.

After the 2020 election a few articles remarked upon this permanent shift and the “Demographic Doom” it meant for the Republican Party, then the subject was almost completely dropped by mainstream media.

Now, in the 2024 election, not only will 8 million additional young people be eligible first-time voters, but also 3.5 million new citizens will have the opportunity to vote for the first time in this election. It’s largely undisputed that the vast majority of these voters are not conservatives.

 

 

 

 

The 2020 election proved that these younger generations now firmly hold the political reins. So, why create, massively fund, and publicize the ultra-conservative Project 2025? Just in time for the 2024 election, why double-down and further narrow the Republican candidate’s appeal to only ultra-conservative voters?

Project 2025’s Gambit

If you can accept that both mainstream parties are acting as one corporate-elitist owned political entity, then this move to make the Republican candidate even more unpopular makes perfect sense. Because the corporate interests are served whether Republicans or Democrats are elected, they’ve championed Project 2025 to scare younger generations of voters into voting for the status quo.

If they can convince young folks to approach this election as though nothing has changed and they have no power, then the corporate-interests maintain their power. 

 

 

 

 

Past articles about this generational shift long-lamented that the future was “unknowable” for the existing political parties after the younger generations came of age. Most young folks are dissatisfied with the political landscape, more left-leaning, more diverse, and more inclined to vote based on policy outcomes. And they’re not the only ones who are dissatisfied with the status quo. A large percentage of voters have expressed willingness to vote for third-parties in the 2024 election regardless of their ideological leanings.

So, given these circumstances, by propagandizing folks to believe that Project 2025 is something the Republican Party could feasibly institute, corporate interests accomplish what you can think of as a “dead man’s bluff”.

If they can convince voters to ignore the recent demographic shift, and the reality that the Republican Party is unlikely to win another presidential election, then they’ve got a shot at at least 4 more years of corporate-elitist control through Democrats. It’s their best shot at making the outcome of an unpredictable 2024 election a lot more predictable.

 

 

 

 

Project 2025 is how they planned to keep us voting like it is 1992, instead of like Gen X and younger generations now firmly hold a majority of the electorate.

It is how they hoped to keep us focused on fearing ultra-conservative aspirational fictions instead of stepping into our power. And to keep us from seeing that swaths of every other voting block wholeheartedly agree with the youth in their desire to force a change when it comes to U.S. financial support of apartheid and genocide.

 

 

 

 

Rather than watch the Democratic party spend the next four years compromising with and capitulating to the fallen Republican party, we can take a stand against the whole mechanism of corporate-elitist politics.

We can reject both the mainstream party candidates and vote for people we’d actually like to see in office.

Changing of the Guard: Transforming Congress

Through our votes we’ll demonstrate the people’s mandate that our funds be redirected towards life sustaining care here at home instead of apartheid, mass death, and forced displacement abroad.

There are 468 seats in the U.S. Congress (33 Senate seats and all 435 House seats) up for election in 2024.

We have the opportunity to do more than impact the outcome of the presidential race. We can do our best to accomplish a near total changing of the guard, in which we take the House and Senate away from candidates who fail to support an arms embargo.

We must make our demand crystal clear to every member of Congress. If no candidate reaches the 270 electoral college votes required to win the presidency, then it may fall to them to uphold our mandate. A hypothetical electoral college map might look like this after the election.

 

 

 

 

At that point, the House of Representatives will be allotted one vote per state delegation to elect the President (from the three Presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes) with a simple majority. And each Senator will cast a single vote to elect the Vice President (from the two Vice Presidential candidates with the most electoral votes).

This is why it is so important to Vote No Evil from the top on down the ballot. We must do our research and know our candidates' policy stances. Thereby requiring that Congress represent our demonstrated intention to elect an executive branch that will help end this genocide and redirect our funds away from apartheid.

We demand non-carceral long-term solutions to the many problems we face here at home. We reject continued funding for increased surveillance, militarization, and mass incarceration as the remedy to every problem. We demand the many programs and benefits that have proven successful in providing for people's needs throughout the world be implemented here in the U.S. as well. 

We vow to Vote No Evil in the 2024 election, and hold our newly-elected representatives accountable to do the same in our names.

Short-term Impact: Solidarity

We believe most people share the strongly held belief that apartheid and genocide must never again be tolerated.

We invite the estimated 88 million eligible voters who have previously abstained from participating in the electoral process to join us. Though the electoral process is only one tactic through which we can use our power to effect change, it is one we cannot afford to neglect. And we hope the many registered voters who already cast their protest votes as “uncommitted” or “no preference” in the presidential primaries will also stand with us in this action. 

 

 

 

 

As we stand together to force a course correction away from the continued mishandling of our funds and influence we'll reclaim our collective power and be each other's hope for a different, brighter, future. 

We’ve all seen how many current polls only posit a hypothetical choice between the two corporate party candidates, ignoring all others. So we encourage you to take a moment and weigh in on this anonymous poll with a different perspective.

 

 

 

 

Take our anonymous poll @ https://s.surveyplanet.com/mqwo58op

We hope that by making our numbers visible we will encourage even more people to join us in this action. Countering the lie that we're outnumbered instead of the current majority voting block, and demonstrating that we’re committed to making change together.

We’ll send a clear message in the 2024 presidential election by voting for candidates that align with our goals. When it comes to the presidency, depending upon ballot access, this may mean casting a vote for Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia, or Chase Oliver, or Jill Stein, or Cornel West, but we are pointedly excluding members of current or past administrations based upon their actions (or lack of action) while in power. It is time for a complete change.

Solidarity is about showing up for each other, in real life. In this digital age — despite being skillfully divided by algorithms, misinformation, entertainment news, and an endless sea of content — we are still more connected than ever. This empowers us to come together and take action. 

Vote No Evil

Standing in solidarity with this action is something we can all do as loudly or as quietly as we’d like by simply voting our consciouses in the 2024 election.

Take action by:

• Voting in the 2024 election
• Voting against any candidate who's program tolerates apartheid & genocide (or supports continuing to fund it)
• Demanding our newly elected congress uphold our mandate against apartheid, mass death, and forced displacement (including when selecting the new executive branch if called upon to do so)

Signing this petition is ultimately not the point. The point is uniting to vote against what we don't want. We don't have to agree on a perfect way forward. Voting no evil is about acting on the common ground we've found in what we vow to stop.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and using the power of your vote to take action.
