Rashida Tlaib Exhorted People To Raise Their Voices By Staying Uncommitted In Their Voting
The Congresswoman said that it was important to both march against the continuing genocide and make sure that Congress members and local officials are made accountable. Voters should pass resolutions across the US.
Rashida Tlaib said that it was also important to create a voting block that will have the strength to say “Enough is enough.” She said that she did not want the US to back wars and destruction. She exhorted people to stand up for every life lost in Gaza and to support life. That is the only way that we can raise our voices.
The Congresswoman said that at present Americans are feeling unseen and neglected by the government. She said that people can raise their voices by coming out and voting uncommitted. The statement by Rashida Tlaib echoed the statement by LTM, which is managed by her sister Layla Elabed.
