(*You can see the full letter here.)
January 9, 2024
President Joseph R. Biden
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Members of Congress:
As local elected officials from across the United States, we work every day toward a vision of our communities where everyone is safe, free, and has what they need to thrive. We are heartbroken by the violence and bloodshed of the October 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel and by the Israel Defense Forces' ensuing assault on Gaza.
We write this letter to call for a durable ceasefire and to urge our fellow elected officials at all levels of government to help de-escalate the violence.
Localities across the country have passed resolutions, more than 60 members of Congress have now called for a ceasefire, and we urge the Biden Administration and all our representatives in Congress to join them in taking immediate action to pursue a durable ceasefire, to secure the release of all hostages, to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, and to begin to create the conditions for a political agreement that can end this conflict
We unequivocally condemn the targeting, brutalization, and killing of civilians - Palestinian and Israeli - which violates international law and basic human morality. We call for the protection of all civilians, the upholding of international law, and an end to collective punishment.
While the jurisdictions we represent are many miles away from the conflict, what happens internationally has a deep impact on our constituents and on our communities.
Many of our constituents have deep connections to Palestine, Israel, and the region and these last weeks have been painful for members in our communities who are mourning loved ones and living in fear. We have also seen a dismaying rise in antisemitic, Islamophobic, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Arab rhetoric and attacks, as well as the exploitation of pain and anger to spread hate for political gain. We condemn these forms of structural violence, which rob all of us of our freedom and the right to a better future.
As local leaders, we remain steadfast in our defense of the right to free speech and non-violent protest, and we reject attempts to erode these rights. That includes the doxxing and weaponized charges of antisemitism directed at local elected officials who speak out or take nonviolent action on behalf of Palestinians.
We are a diverse set of elected officials, representing an array of communities with widely ranging points of view of the conflict. We stand with everyone who is working for a more humane future, one in which we spend our resources on what our communities need to thrive - not on military escalation. We add our names to this letter in the hope of a world in which all of us can live together in safety, freedom, and peace.
In solidarity,
