Montgomery County Voter Guide for Peace, Justice and Palestine Solidarity
Voters increasingly want the U.S. to end military aid to Israel—but elected officials are falling behind. Too often, candidates dodge the question entirely, or design public forums so that Palestinian human rights never get discussed.
Voters shouldn’t have to guess where candidates stand. They deserve clarity, honesty, and accountability at the ballot box.
The Watermelon Ballot gives Montgomery County voters exactly that: a clear view of which candidates support Palestinian human rights and liberation—and which remain silent or worse have pro-genocide or complicit stances. By shining a spotlight on the truth, it empowers voters to make informed choices and pressures candidates to stop hiding their positions.

Watch our 3-minute video about Gaza through the MoCo Lens. It was done in the first few months of the genocide so the
information is outdated (but still horrific).
Why you Should Reclaim the Ballot
We know there’s deep distrust in both major parties and it is justified. But change only happens when people show up and use their voice. At protests, hearings, and, yes, even elections.
That’s exactly why your voice matters. The system only changes when people show up and use every tool available to them.
By reclaiming your voice and voting your values, you help bring the conversation back to the people — and back to justice.
Do it for accountability. Do it for democracy. Do it for Palestine.
