My name is Nessa Fakrai. I was born and raised in Menlo Park. I am contacting you regarding the unfolding crisis in Gaza. It is absolutely urgent that the lawmakers of Menlo Park, California, and the U.S. call for a ceasefire, and that they call on Israel to allow humanitarian assistance into Gaza. They must oppose sending any more weapons to the Israeli military as it carries out mass atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza. They only way forward is addressing the root causes of violence: Israeli military occupation and apartheid, and ending U.S. complicity in this oppression. Please consider advocating for the people of Palestine, as it is the right thing to do.
