John,

Yesterday, UAW renewed their call for a permanent ceasefire and urged others to join our fight for humanity.

UAW President Shawn Fain stood side by side with members of Congress, including Justice Democrats incumbents Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, and urged more of our elected leaders and the rest of the labor movement to join us in our demands for:

A permanent ceasefire in Israel and Palestine to end the indiscriminate slaughter of thousands of innocent civilians;
The safe release of all hostages;
Water, food, fuel, and humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.

Fain said, “As union members, we know we must fight for all workers and suffering people around the world. We must fight for humanity.” And he’s right.

Together, we are a diverse movement of working people in the collective fight for peace and social justice for all.

Squad members like Cori and Rashida led the way on introducing a ceasefire resolution in Congress, and through our continued organizing and public pressure, the ceasefire movement continues to grow despite attacks from pro-war groups like AIPAC.

Support our work to keep up our shared fight for humanity and re-elect pro-peace champions to Congress in the New Year: pitch in a grassroots contribution of $3 or more today.

With your support, Justice Democrats will continue to give everything we’ve got to defend our progressive leaders in Congress who unapologetically stand up for the human rights of all.

In solidarity,

Geoff Simpson
Campaigns Director

Do not worry if you cannot afford to make a contribution — we understand that this is a difficult time.

There are other ways to make an impact in support of peace and equality in Israel and Palestine: please urge your member of Congress to support a ceasefire through Adalah Justice Project’s petition or by calling them using Jewish Voice for Peace’s dialer here. Your voice matters in this critical moment.
