Open Letter to the Santa Barbara City Council:
We are writing to you, on behalf of Jewish Voice for Peace-Santa Barbara, to clear up some misconceptions about our organization that were delivered during the October 24 council public comment period. Knowing that your time is precious, we are nevertheless compelled to respond to these defamatory statements.
As stated on our website, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) “is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world. We’re organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle, guided by a vision of justice, equality, and dignity for all people.”
