Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the endorsement of one of the nation’s largest Muslim American voter mobilization groups, marking a significant boost to her campaign since many Muslim and Arab American organizations have opted to support third-party candidates or not endorse.

Emgage Action, the political arm of an 18-year-old Muslim American advocacy group, endorsed Harris’ presidential campaign on Wednesday, saying in a statement provided first to The Associated Press that the group “recognizes the responsibility to defeat” Donald Trump in November.

The group, based in Washington D.C., operates in eight states, with a significant presence in the key battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania. The organization will now focus its ongoing voter-outreach efforts on supporting Harris, in addition to down-ballot candidates.

      Pretty sure they are talking about Meta. The DoJ is starting to look at breaking up companies and Meta will do everything they can to stop it.

          Yes, but Lemmy is probably the least islamophobic platform out there, short of anything explicitly islamic.

            I agree, especially compared to places like Reddit or Twitter. I was referring more to how the humanity (or lack their of) of Muslims is framed in news articles by Western Media Outlets
