Please, call or email or meet with your the county supervisors to let them know that a comprehensive, and permanent ceasefire is needed immediately.

See below: links to the full resolution and to an interview with County Supervisor Ryan Clancy (emphasis added.) Note: since the drafting of the resolution, tens of thousands more Palestinians have been killed, injured, and displaced; and hundreds of thousands are starving.

“We have the duty, we have the responsibility, to stand up as individuals, as organizations and at every level of government to say we will not do this […] Calls and emails to all 18 of us on the County Board of Supervisors are great. I would say the most important thing to do is to ask to meet with supervisors. In those meetings, ask them to commit to vote for the unamended resolution.” — Supervisor Ryan Clancy
