The Intercept: “Abdul El-Sayed Becomes First Senate Candidate Backed by Pro-Palestine Jewish Group”

For The Intercept, Jonah Valdez reports on JVP Action’s first-ever endorsement of a U.S. Senate candidate: Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed. El-Sayed’s campaign platform focuses on affordability, championing Medicare for All, a tax on billionaires, labor protections against AI, and ending all U.S. weapons shipments to Israel.

“Abdul has been a stalwart and unapologetic defender of Palestinian rights and freedom, and his campaign has demonstrated a moral consistency that centers justice and equality for all people. This campaign is a historic opportunity to bring a leader into office who will fight for our communities here at home, and to reimagine a US foreign policy that supports freedom and justice, not genocide and apartheid.”

– Beth Miller, Political Director, JVP Action
