CHICAGO, Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Abandon Biden movement will hold a historic convention on August 18 and 19, at 1240 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60607, to launch the 2024 election campaign. On Monday, August 19th, there will be a press conference at 11 am CT. The press conference will include Jill Stein and Cornel West. The media are welcome to conduct interviews from 8:30 am CT to 12 pm CT. For details, see www.abandonbiden24.com/convention
The convention will bring together leaders and people of conscience from across the nation. This pivotal gathering marks a crucial moment for the movement as it prepares to take decisive action, launching an election campaign, against the Biden-Harris administration, in response to its failure to protect innocent Palestinians.
The convention is the result of months of relentless activism sparked by President Biden's outright refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza by October 31st, 2023. In the face of ongoing atrocities, Abandon Biden leaders have drawn an unforgiving moral redline, vowing not only to withdraw their support but also to aggressively campaign against anyone who continues to support and endorse genocide.
The convention will feature panels on the history and strategy of the Abandon Biden movement, which aims to empower people of conscience to become a powerful voting bloc capable of effecting moral change in the United States and beyond.
