FEATURING KHURY PETERSEN-SMITH - The genocide in Gaza has been front and center of our political landscape since last October. Leading up to Election 2024, a movement of “uncommitted” voters vowed to use their power to force the hand of the Biden Harris administration into embargoing U.S. weapons to Israel.
