State and local electeds

On January 9th, over 175 state and local elected officials urged Biden to immediately call for a permanent ceasefire. Are your local elected officials on the list? If not, tell them to sign on today at bit.ly/CeasefireNowLetter.

City council resolutions

Since the new year, eleven more cities have passed resolutions calling for a ceasefire, bringing the total number up to 41. In 19 more cities, resolutions have been proposed that need more support. Has your local government or school board passed a similar resolution? If not, the Council on American–Islamic Relations has produced a toolkit for helping you get started on building a local campaign with others.

Labor's role in the fight for peace

Unions representing more than 1 million workers have signed on to a labor-backed petition sponsored by the United Auto Workers, UFCW Local 3000, the Association of Flight Attendants, and the UE. If you are in a union, share the petition with your coworkers, and see if you can get your local to sign on as well!
