OPEN LETTER TO DEMOCRACTIC LEADERS AND TOP DONORS

Subject: Support the Biden-Harris 2024 Reelection Ticket

Dear Democratic Leaders and Top Donors,

We, Black women of the USA Democratic Party, are writing to express our unwavering support for President Joe Biden's reelection as the 2024 nominee of the Democratic Party. We call upon all Democratic leaders and top donors to unequivocally stand down in any efforts to replace President Biden on the ticket and to throw their full support behind the Biden-Harris 2024 reelection campaign.

President Biden and former President Trump are currently neck-and-neck in the polls. We firmly believe that President Biden, with Vice President Kamala Harris by his side, will secure victory in November 2024. Any attempts to undermine this ticket not only jeopardize our chances of maintaining the presidency but also reflect a disturbing agenda rooted in racism.

It is our strong conviction that the push to replace President Biden is primarily motivated by an unwillingness to see Vice President Harris ascend to the presidency should President Biden step down after the election for any reason. This agenda seeks to prevent a Black woman from potentially becoming President of the United States, an outcome that would be a historic and powerful symbol of progress for our nation.

We demand that all Democratic leaders and top donors:

1. Publicly affirm their support for the Biden-Harris 2024 reelection ticket.
2. Cease any actions or rhetoric that undermine the current administration or suggest a change in the presidential nominee.
3. Focus their efforts and resources on ensuring a Democratic victory in the 2024 election.

The Democratic Party stands for inclusion, equality, and justice. It is imperative that we embody these principles by fully supporting the Biden-Harris ticket. Any deviation from this path only serves to weaken our party and embolden our opponents.

We call on you to stand in solidarity with us and support President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as the rightful leaders of our party and our country. Together, we can ensure a brighter future for all Americans.

Sincerely,

Cheryle Renee Moses

Please repost this and add your name to the list of those of us who want the Biden-Harris ticket to win in November 2024.
