This decision was prompted\u2063 by the Democratic \u200cNational Committee&#8217;s (DNC) refusal to \u2064allow\u200b a Palestinian American speaker at the convention. In a\u2064 statement \u200con social media, the group expressed that they could not \u200ccontinue their support given this situation. Compared to more prominent grassroots organizations raising significant\u200b funds for Harris, Muslim Women for\u2063 Harris-Walz has a small following (87 on\u200d Facebook and 850 on Instagram) \u200dand it is unclear how much fundraising they have accomplished. The controversy originated when the Uncommitted Movement criticized the DNC for\u2062 prioritizing the\u200b parents of\u2064 a hostage taken by Hamas at the convention while not inviting Palestinian Americans. This group formed in response to dissatisfaction with the Biden \u200badministration&#8217;s handling of the Gaza conflict and has brought attention to calls for an arms embargo on Israel and a permanent ceasefire.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Muslim Women for Harris-Walz disbands after DNC rejects hosting a Palestinian speaker<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1735639\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A small grassroots movement known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/muslim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Muslim<\/a> Women for Harris-Walz has rescinded its support for the Democratic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>presidential nominee<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The group released a statement on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Facebook<\/a> and Instagram pages saying they withdrew their support because the DNC declined to have a Palestinian American speak at the convention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We cannot in good conscience continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris&rsquo; team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC,&rdquo; the group wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Muslim Women for Harris-Walz is a small group that only has 87 followers on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Facebook<\/a> page and 850 followers on Instagram.
