A Message to President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance From the Abandon Harris Movement

(June 17, 2025)

We speak at a perilous moment.

Israel has attacked Iran. A war has erupted. Civilians are dying. The region is spiraling into chaos. And the world now stands on the brink of nuclear disaster.

This is not just a regional conflict. It is a global crisis—and it threatens every one of us.

In October 2023, Muslim-American leaders issued an ultimatum to President Joe Biden: call for a ceasefire in Gaza and end the genocide. He ignored us. We launched the Abandon Biden movement. When Biden dropped out, we issued the same demand to Vice President Harris. She ignored us too. In August 2024, we rebranded as Abandon Harris.

We organized across every swing state. We moved voters. And we cost Kamala Harris the White House.

Let that serve as a reminder: our demands are not symbolic. Our movement is not hypothetical. When our red lines are crossed, we act.

President Trump, Vice President Vance—you promised the American people an end to endless wars. You promised to put America First. You promised to stop funding genocide. Those were your words. Today, those promises are on the line.

We have learned that Israel is pressuring the United States to enter this war. You must not comply. Do not enter this war.

To do so would be a catastrophic betrayal—not only of your promises, but of the American people. It would cost trillions of dollars, trigger widespread economic collapse, and worst of all, lead to the deaths of untold numbers of innocents. We cannot afford another reckless military campaign. We cannot afford another war built on someone else’s agenda.

Let us be clear: if this administration leads the U.S. into this war, we will respond with the full strength of our movement. Just as we did in 2024, we will mobilize in every battleground state to ensure you are held accountable at the ballot box—in 2026 and beyond.

But far beyond politics, the consequences of this war will be lasting and devastating. History will not forget who escalated it. And neither will we.

We will not stand idle. We will not be silent. We will do everything in our power to stop this war before it begins.
