DESCRIPTION:It is unacceptable that the Berkeley City Council refuses to even agendize 
 and consider a Cease Fire Resolution as passed and recommended last year by 
 the Berkeley Peace and Justice Commission, or any supportive Resolution or 
 statement in favor of ending U.S. funding of the genocide in Gaza. \n\nWe 
 will hold a press conference and attend the Council's next three meetings, 
 standing in silence with blood-red hands and our red banners with the names 
 of children murdered by Israel with U.S. weapons. Our message is "SHAME ON 
 YOU FOR YOUR SILENCE ON GENOCIDE IN GAZA!". The Council is ignoring 
 majority sentiment in Berkeley for at least taking a vote for or against 
 the P&J Resolution. We cannot accept their inaction. They are hurting us 
 and Berkeley's standing as a community by their failure to act and to 
 consider our pleas for humanity and justice. We are traumatized by the U.S. 
 Congress' backing for Israel's genocide, making us complicit by illegally 
 using our tax $ for hellfire missiles, attack drones, F-35 lethal fighter 
 jets, 2000 lb. bombs, depleted uranium -- slaughtering children in our 
 names!  We need our City Council to speak out, as SF, Richmond, Oakland, 
 Hayward and other cities have done!\n\nJoin us to convey what is in our 
 hearts. Stand with us at the next Berkeley City Council meetings on March 
 11, 18, and 25. NOTE: We request that everyone with us stand in silence 
 during the first hour of the Council meetings. Please respect our action 
 and do not shout at the Council.\n
