Chicago’s City Council narrowly approved a resolution Wednesday calling for a permanent cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas, with Mayor Brandon Johnson casting the tiebreaking vote.
Chicago is latest U.S. city to approve such a non-binding resolution, following Atlanta, Detroit and San Francisco in recent months.
URGENT: Demand a ceasefire now.
Millions of lives depend on it.
Also, hope you don't mind when they say:
WE HAVE A PLAN TO END U.S. SUPPORT
FOR ISRAEL’S OPPRESSION OF PALESTINIANS
Jewish Voice for Peace is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world.
We’re organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with Palestinian freedom struggle.
If you’ve been looking for a political home for Jews on the left in this perilous moment; if you’ve been wanting a Jewish community with justice at the center; if you’ve been looking to turn your rage and grief into meaningful, strategic action:
Join us. You belong here.
Plenty of us with friends, family, and citizenship in Israel want a real solution, not just another ceasfire that will be broken by Hamas with a large missles barrage on said friends and family.
I see all of these calls for ceasefire, but they always end there. No actual suggestions for a long term solution.
