BALTIMORE, MD, February 20, 2020– College Democrats at Johns Hopkins University have always fought for a Democratic party that directly confronts questions of justice. As we approach the 2020 Democratic National Convention, we are calling on the DNC to add language to the official Democratic Party Platform that affirms the rights of Palestinians, condemns the unjust and illegal Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the blockade of Gaza, and opposes annexation of Palestinian territory. The Democratic Party must be clear about its values. We stand with J Street U in their fight for our Party Platform to acknowledge and denounce the occupation.
