From: Councilmember Fife
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Affirming Oakland's Love Life Commitment And Support For The Congressional And Worldwide Calls For An Immediate Ceasefire In Gaza
As a life-long Oakland resident, I support this resolution. The killing of tens of thousands of Palestinian men, women and children has been horrific and it is even more devastating to know this is being done with my tax dollars and my government’s backing. I call on Oakland council members to stand against the racist dehumanization of Palestinians that has made this possible and for peace and the valuing of all human life. Listen to us, the majority of Democrats who want an end to this genocide.
As a D5 constituent and voter, I strongly support this resolution supporting an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian intervention in Gaza. I call on Oakland City Council to join the national calls for ceasefire and to take the lead in California as its first major city to support this declaration and impress upon our full Congressional delegation to follow Rep. Lee's leadership in doing the same.
I am a Jewish Oakland resident in D2, proudly supporting this resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza. We must stop the endless killing of civilians and achieve peace -- the only real path to peace is justice. And that starts with an end to the fighting. Please stand with your constituents in our overwhelming support for a ceasefire.
I am an Oakland resident of District 3. I demand: an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to U.S. funding to Israel, and immediate aid to the Palestinian people. I encourage the council of the city of Oakland to stand with Richmond, and Detroit on the right side of history.
My name is D'mani Thomas and i'm from Oakland District 7. I support this resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. No more genocide. No more of our money going towards bombs.
As an Oakland resident I affirm Oakland's support for the Congressional and Worldwide calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza. We cannot afford, in every sense of the word, to get this wrong.
I am a resident of Oakland and I urge the Oakland CIty Council to join the worldwide call for ceasefire and to also lead major American cities by being the first large city to make this declaration. The US is complicit in funding and aiding the war crimes that are being committed by Israel. However, the people of Oakland and the US stand against funding a genocide and are demanding a permanent ceasefire.
I am a Resident of Oakland District 3 supporting the resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire. Our city can and should adopt a resolution confronting the US-funded Israeli occupation and genocide in Palestine. The current pause is not enough -- we demand a permanent ceasefire, release of all Palestinian political prisoners, unrestricted entry into Gaza for humanitarian aid, restoration of basic needs, and a permanent end to Israeli terror.
I am a Oakland resident and I strongly support and call for the city of Oakland to pass a Ceasefire resolution to end the siege on Gaza by a permanent ceasefire. Lead the way and join the masses of people calling for a ceasefire now! Palestine will be free!
I am horrified at what we have witnessed in Gaza and the US support of this genocidal war. Please help save lives and call for a ceasefire. Thank you! Nora Reza, Oakland resident
Born in Oakland and raised on Ohlone land. The US knows too well the consequences and horrors that stem from colonization, white supremacy, and people in power stealing land and resources to enhance their profits. Israel has made their genocidal and oil-profiteering intentions extraordinarily clear. The mass murder of Palestinians must end immediately. I completely support an immediate and permanent ceasefire! The atrocities the IDF commits daily in Gaza and the West Bank have murdered entire bloodlines, and have displaced millions. This will only bring more violence in our global sphere with the rise of islamophobia and antisemitism. Ceasefire now!!!
HI, my name is Jenny Tighe, I live in District 1. I am strongly in support of this resolution. I would like Oakland to join the many other voices advocating for a Ceasefire and support of the Palestinian people suffering at the hands of US funded attacks. We need to assert our value for all human life and cannot be silent while so many innocent lives are taken. Strongly support Oakland's resolution supporting a cease fire
I am a Bay Area resident and echo my community members in their call to strongly support this resolution in having Oakland adopt a collective call for a Ceasefire in Gaza. The people deserve an end to the devastation that is impacting the entire world, but more importantly the Palestinian people.
