We have two days left for the Detroit City Council to consider and support the Ceasefire Resolution presented by council member Gabriela Santiago-Romero. We must let our representatives know it is time to hear our voices.
It has been six weeks of unfathomable terror raining down on the people of Gaza and Palestine. The Israeli government, funded by the United States of America, has stolen over 13,300 lives and displaced over 1.2 million people from their homes and land.
Our ability to build a world outside the confines of militarism, exploitation, colonialism, and greed relies on our steadfast cultivation and embodiment of interconnectedness. We believe in a world where our safety is found in one another’s humanity, not in borders, walls, apartheid, and militarization. It is in this spirit we continue to demand an immediate ceasefire.
