Sep 9, 2024
Waleed Shahid, a key organizer of the Uncommitted Movement, joins fellow activist Abbas Alawieh, an Arab-American DNC delegate from Michigan, to discuss recent political shifts within the Democratic Party. They explore the Uncommitted Movement’s grassroots strategies for pro-peace initiatives and the challenges faced by Palestinian-American advocates. Shahid and Alawieh reflect on their community’s disillusionment with party leadership, the significance of their demands at the DNC, and the pressing need for change to align with the pro-ceasefire sentiments of their constituents.
