Muslim leaders, organizers and community members from several US states have launched a national campaign against the reelection of President Joe Biden over his stalwart support of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, which many scholars have warned could amount to genocide against Palestinians.

In a press conference in Dearborn, Michigan, Muslim organizers from Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Nevada, and Pennsylvania came together to announce a coordinated nationwide effort to ensure Biden does not secure a second term in office.

“We are not powerless as American Muslims. We are powerful. We don’t only have the money, but we have the actual votes. And we will use that vote to save this nation from itself,” Jaylani Hussein, a member of the coalition, said at the press conference.

The campaign was initially being run separately in different states, but they now have decided to coordinate their efforts on a national level.

While it is unclear how much traction the campaign will get, organizers are confident that they can put together a significant bloc of Muslim voters as the population of American Muslims is roughly 3.45 million people and they are able to sway the election.
