An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

YOUR HUMANITY IS BURIED IN THE MASS GRAVES IN GAZA - CEASEFIRE NOW

As of 1/17, approximately 24,400 to 31,500 Palestinians have been murdered by Israel in Gaza since 10/7/23. This doesn't included those murdered in other areas of occupied-Palestine, nor does it include the tens of thousands injured. The sheer magnitude of the bodies has led to the ad-hoc creation of over 120 mass grave sites throughout Gaza in residential neighborhoods, stadiums, hospital courtyards, mosques, schools, and other places normally associated with life. Can you imagine that? Truly? I can't fathom the reality of seeing your school, house of worship, or neighborhood turned into mass graves. The magnitude of human suffering has been beyond comprehension since this began. There are no more words that truly convey the barbarism, atrocities, and flagrant disregard for human life Israel has reigned upon besieged Gaza. Their campaign of terror has only grown every day to extend to all of occupied-Palestine. And still, you do nothing. Our country could stop this without more bloodshed. You and I both know it. The fact you've continued to support this genocide is beyond disgusting. I demand that you:  - Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the West Bank, and all areas the Israeli military is murdering or otherwise violating the human rights of Palestinians - Call for the immediate end of genocide, apartheid, and occupation, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom, peace, and their human rights - Call for the immediate release of Palestinian “prisoners” (hostages) held captive in Israeli military prisons - Permanently end all monetary and military aid given to Israel by correcting our budget and enforcing Leahy Law - Reallocate all funds given to Israel to ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians to help them rebuild, care for the sick & injured, bury the dead with dignity, and ensure all of their basic needs are taken care of - Repeal all federal anti-BDS laws and pass legislation that voids all state-level anti-BDS laws - Restore my right to free speech and the freedom of the press by condemning all discrimination or harassment for criticizing any government or political ideology (including zionism) and by doing everything possible to prevent future assaults to my rights, including governmental control and/or censorship of the Internet - Stop the militarization of our police by ending all cross-training done with the Israeli military, ceasing the construction of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, and all other ways this is accomplished - Pass legislation that prohibits any governmental action that would target any ethnic, religious, or other minority group (including Palestinians), either in the U.S. or abroad, by restricting humanitarian or financial aid, infringing on their human rights, or other actions that would otherwise bring harm or cause undue burdens on said groups
