Speech
The Speech the DNC Wouldn’t Allow on Stage
by Georgia state Representative Ruwa Romman
"What I’m about to read to you is, frankly, very sanitized. It was meant to have an opportunity to represent a Palestinian voice.
"We came here to offer a gift, an opportunity to bridge the gap between our party & our voters... so many people wearing their pins, their keffiyehs, their flags. It’s very unfortunate."

  Watch: Palestinian American Lawmaker Gives Speech the DNC Wouldn’t Allow on Stage
  
  Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination Thursday after a four-day convention in Chicago where her campaign refused to allow a Palestinian American to take the stage to address Israel’s war on Gaza. We hear Georgia state Representative Ruwa Romman, who was among the list of speakers offered by the Uncommitted National Movement that the Harris campaign rejected, reading the speech she would have given on the convention floor had the DNC and the Harris campaign allowed her onstage.
