Subject: Support for Gaza versus Ukraine
Dear City Council Members,
I am writing again to urge you to vote TONIGHT on the ceasefire resolution. Every week you postpone the vote signals your silence and complicity in the death of thousands.
I am also writing to point out how easy it was for you to vote on a resolution to pass in support of Sebastopol's sister city, Chyhyryn, and the nation of Ukraine. Why is it so hard to see the Palestinian people as human beings worthy of your support and recognition? Does it have anything to do with the color of their skin? Do you support the occupation, theft, and militarization of this indigenous population? Why isn't it a priority? The time is now to lift up the voice of Peacetown and vote for peace and justice for the Palestinian people. The people showing up every week are your constituents that you took an oath to represent. WE DEMAND A VOTE!
