<br />Ibarra, Evelyn <br />From:mustafahijaz14 <mustafahijaz14@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, December <br />To:Amezcua, Valerie; Lopez, Jessie; Phan, Thai; Vazquez, Benjamin; Bacerra, Phil; Hernandez, <br />Johnathan; Penaloza, David; eComment <br />Subject:Resolution in Solidarity with Palestinians in Support of a Ceasefire <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Mayor and Councilmembers, <br /> <br />I trust this letter finds you well. It is with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency that I implore you to lend your voices to <br />the call for justice and humanity by passing the Resolution in Solidarity with Palestinian People in Support of a Ceasefire. <br /> <br />We have witnessed the injustices of the occupation of Palestine, where Israeli occupation forces have massacred 20,000 <br />Palestinians since October 7, including a heartbreaking number of 8,000 children and displaced 1.7 million Gazans. The <br />world is watching, and Santa Ana, a beacon of diversity and inclusivity, has a unique opportunity to stand on the right <br />side of history. <br /> <br />The destruction of vital infrastructure of Gaza are haunting reminders that Gaza is now considered a graveyard and is in <br />urgent need of humanitarian intervention from local members of Congress. <br /> <br />This resolution calls for Santa Ana to be a leader in human rights for all people. In our community, Arabs and Muslims <br />contribute immensely to the rich tapestry of Santa Ana's cultural diversity. Their voices, experiences, and heritage are <br />integral parts of the very fabric that makes Santa Ana unique. <br /> <br />By passing a resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire, Santa Ana has the opportunity to <br />demonstrate leadership, compassion, and a commitment to protecting families from the backlash of hate crimes. <br /> <br />Santa Ana needs solidarity, and our community can be a source of support for people experiencing the rise of hate <br />crimes due to the dehumanization of Palestinians in the media and within our governments. <br /> <br />Let Santa Ana be a city that stands united against injustice and bigotry and sends a clear message that we value the lives <br />of all individuals, regardless of their background or nationality. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time, consideration, and the crucial work you do for our community. We look forward to your City <br />Council’s passing of this humanitarian resolution. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /><Name> <br />Santa Ana, CA 92705 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Sent from my Galaxy <br /> <br />1 <br />
