Open Letter to the Board of Supervisors:
I’m writing to you today with utmost urgency, pleading for you to act in support of an extremely vulnerable nation, a people whose very existence is threatened by violence and destruction on an almost unimaginable scale. Every minute that transpires, further precious lives are lost, more homes, hospitals, schools, bakeries, and other spaces of potential refuge are destroyed. And every second we refuse to speak or act against this genocide, we sign our names as complicit parties. Thus, I am writing to urge you in the strongest possible terms to pass a resolution in support of a full and permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and an end to Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinians.
I read with profound disappointment and frustration of your recent Resolution in Support of the State of Israel and encourage you to take this opportunity to correct the grievous error you made in approving that message.
