"We don’t want a country that supports war and bombs and destruction. We want to support life. We want to stand up for every single life killed in Gaza ... This is the way you can raise our voices. Don’t make us even more invisible. Right now, we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government. If you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted [rather than in support of Biden]."
