Rep. Chris Pappas announced that he is running for the US Senate next year.

He is asking for our vote, but before the people of New Hampshire offer him their trust, he must first show that he will not turn his back on the Palestinian people, whose suffering has become a stain on the conscience of the world. If he seeks to ascend to a higher office, he must take a bold, unwavering stand against the brutality and dislocation being wreaked upon Palestine.

What is unfolding in Gaza and the West Bank is nothing short of catastrophic. Entire families, uprooted from their homes, wander in the desolation of their lost futures. Communities, once full of life, now lie in ruins. And in the midst of this wreckage, the innocent continue to perish, day by day, like forgotten whispers in the wind.

We ask that you join us in a call for Rep. Pappas to take a stance, a clear and ethical one, against the tide of violence and injustice that engulfs Palestine. We Granite Staters must demand that he choose the right side of history. His aspirations for the Senate must be bound to his courage in confronting the wrongs of today, not silencing himself in the face of atrocities too great to ignore.

If Pappas is to walk the path of higher power in the Senate, it must first be paved with moral clarity. Our voices are the force that can compel him to act. Together, we can press him to make a choice, to make his conscience louder than his ambition.
