Discussion: This referral calls for the Fremont City Council to stand united in our call for sustained peace in the Palestine region and end the violence that continues to endanger innocent lives. While the City remains focused on local policy matters, we can no longer stand silent while tragic events continue to claim the lives of innocent people in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. Over the last several weeks many of our community members have shared personal stories of trauma, suffering, and death endured by loved ones due to this war.
This referral also calls on the Fremont City Council in solidarity with our community to come together to support initiatives that promote peace in the Palestine region, fosters reconciliation, and work toward mutual understanding.
