You can also make your voice heard by joining AFF4C Tuesday, January 2 at the City Council meeting. Gathering begins at 5:30 pm for 7 pm meeting.

Background - Over 2/3 of Americans support an immediate permanent ceasefire to end the ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza. Cities across California – including Davis, Richmond, Oakland, and Cudahy – are passing ceasefire resolutions to dissent against President Biden's staunch support for Israel's military. Our council members represent community members with loved ones who have been killed in Israel and Palestine. Calling for a ceasefire is the bare minimum the City Council can do to stand for humanity. Their actions will also build pressure on the Biden administration and other elected officials to end the unfolding genocide and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
