#AbandonBiden seeks to empower Muslim Americans to leverage their vote for the US presidency, and consequently, effect moral change in the United States and around the world. The campaign seeks to unite and mobilize Muslim to forge a national movement built around grassroots organizing, political lobbying, public advocacy, and voter mobilization, to effectively transform Muslim Americans into a powerful voting block that cannot be ignored.
The #AbandonBiden campaign was initiated when Joe Biden refused to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Due to Joe Biden's immoral position on the Israel-Gaza conflict, Muslim American leaders in pivotal swing states - Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina - have pledged to rally their communities against President Biden's bid for re-election. Across the nation, Muslim Americans and their allies have committed not to vote for Biden and to actively campaign against him. The #AbandonBiden campaign’s goal is to establish the institutional infrastructure to ensure that Biden loses the swing states.
Muslim Americans are perhaps the most powerful Muslims on the planet today. This is a historic moment for Muslim Americans - a moment for taking responsibility and a moment to ensure government accountability. This is a moment for unity and transformational action, as communities across the nation come together to shape the future of the United States towards peace, justice, and dignity.
