Vice President Harris’ niece is using her influence to raise money for Palestinians and urge Democrats to do more to address their concerns, a review of her social media shows.
Meena Harris, a Tony-award-winning theater producer and author, currently links to a $1 million fundraising appeal for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund on her main Instagram page — where she has more than 700,000 followers.
The Meena Harris-supported fundraiser promises the cash will be delivered to “the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza” and notes that “the wounds of this war will take years to heal.”
The fundraiser makes no mention of Hamas or their Oct. 7 attack, which precipitated the conflict. The terrorist massacre left 1,200 dead and hundreds more taken hostage.
Meena Harris, 39, is the daughter of Kamala Harris’ sister, Maya, and appeared on stage during the Democratic convention this week.
While her aunt took pains at the Democratic National Convention to stress her support for Israel, Meena Harris showed her dissent by posting a photo of herself wearing an activist pin reading “Democrats for Palestinian rights” onto her Instagram stories.
The pin was handed out during the convention by uncommitted delegates, who were sent to the gathering by voters in protest of President Biden’s support for Israel, according to NBC News.
“If they truly cared about the Palestinian people they would be supporting Israel in the fight to destroy Hamas once and for all,” said Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ).
Ella Emhoff, Vice President Harris’ stepdaughter has also previously raised money for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund on her Instagram page.
Ella Emhoff has also used her Instagram page to raise cash for The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) — an organization to which the Biden-Harris administration cut funding to over their involvement in Hamas’ Oct 7 terrorist attack.
Meena Harris and the vice president’s office did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.
