The Abandon Harris campaign has endorsed Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein.
The campaign, known as the Abandon Biden until he dropped out of the race, is a protest movement of left-wing pro-Palestinian activists opposed to U.S. support for Israel.
“We have consistently emphasized the importance of utilizing every available tool to resist injustice, with voting being a critical element. While voting alone is not the solution to our pursuit of truth and justice, it is a powerful tool that must be wielded ethically,” the group wrote in a release Monday.
“The path to justice is long, painful, and difficult, but it is ours to pave and follow,” it said.
The group called on Muslim Americans and others who are frustrated with the administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war to reject the Democratic nominee and cast their support for Ms. Stein.
“Our movement remains dedicated to ensuring that the American people, especially the Muslim-American community, recognize the responsibility we share in standing up against oppression and using all our power to stop genocide — wherever it may arise,” the release said. “On the precipice of the election, we endorse Jill Stein.”
The endorsement coincided with the anniversary of the Hamas terrorists’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Ms. Stein has said that if she were elected, she would end military support to Israel.
The group said Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, are “two opposing forces: one currently involved in actions resulting in immense human suffering, and another showing little willingness to change course. Both seem committed to maintaining these destructive policies.”
Historically, third-party presidential candidates garner little support but can serve as spoilers for one of the major party candidates.
