Green Party of Pennsylvania
Members Speak in Favor of a Ceasefire in Gaza
Members of the Green
Party of Pennsylvania spoke in favor of a ceasefire in Gaza before the
Allegheny County Council on February 26. Among those speaking was Jay
Ting Walker of the Green Party of Allegheny County who said “What’s
happening in Gaza is genocide. Members of the Netanyahu administration
including Prime Minister Netanyahu himself have made it very clear
that Israel's purpose is to remove Palestinians from Gaza. As of today
more than 29,000 Palestinians have been murdered. This genocide has
been financed and facilitated by the U.S. government including
President Joe Biden, with support from both Houses of Congress
utilizing OUR tax dollars. . . . We needed a ceasefire more than 100
days ago. Having failed that, we need a ceasefire right now.

states in the country since the former disgraced Governor Cuomo and
the majority Democratic State Legislature changed the laws as part of
the 2021 COVID emergency budget. GPNY is hiring paid petitioners but
also needs a massive volunteer effort. Out of state petitioners are
welcome.
