A few details:

  • Resolution Language: Resolution R-123-24 is on the agenda section of the City’s website this Friday.

    I am so pleased that the Fitchburg City council is considering a resolution to ask for an end to the genocide of Palestinian women and children. I am in FULL support of the resolution.

    As a new resident in Fitchburg, I add my voice to those who shout for a stop to the genocide of thousands of Gods children in Gaza, to stop US funding of instruments of war and any implicit contribution to this senseless war and to instead, bombard Gaza with humanitarian aid and food. STOP this war! Ceasefire and Stop the occupation! Muslim, Jewish, Christian, we are all Gods children. Thank you

    When women and children are slaughtered, families decimated, entire cities destroyed and all this “made possible” with US weapons,
    I think supporting a cease-fire in Gaza is the least you can do.
