The Austin Human Rights Commission passed a resolution urging the City Council to publicly call for a ceasefire. In a historic 7-1 vote, the Human Rights Commission of Austin, the 10th largest city in the United States, calls for a ceasefire and to combat the rising anti-semitism, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab sentiments. 

We are calling on City Council Members to adopt this resolution demanding a humanterian ceasefire!

Our hard-earned US tax dollars must not be channeled into the support and acquisition of weapons that fuel the devastating bombardment of innocent civilians in Gaza.

This resolution unequivocally advocates for the liberation of Israeli hostages and the urgent reinstatement of life-sustaining supplies to the people of Gaza.

Recent findings from The Nation (November 16, 2023) show that 73% of potential Democratic voters favor candidates supporting a cease-fire, with 46% strongly backing them. In Austin's Travis County, a resounding 79% are more likely to support Repersentative Casar for his pro-cease-fire stance, especially after a major supportive march.

If you're wondering about the influence of your office on global matters, consider this: You might later regret not taking every possible step to prevent harm and save lives. Every additional person, elected official, or city that speaks up can make a difference!

We ask you to stand with impactful allies! The Central Labor Council (CLC), Austin Justice Coalition (AJC), and Indian American Coalition of Central Texas (IACCT) rally behind the Ceasefire resolution.
