From Do No Harm Coalition – Monday, January 8 – 8:30am
SF City Hall
Healthcare workers! Join us for a powerful event on 1/8 in SF City Hall to support the BOS passing the SF Ceasefire Resolution.
CODE BLUE: Don’t Delay, Pass the SF Ceasefire Resolution!
At 830am, we will be filming an homage to our colleagues who have been killed in Gaza. We are asking all healthcare workers to come in their professional attire (scrubs/white coats/symbols of our profession), with masks as this is indoors. This film will be powerful and evocative. We are honored to be joined by local musician Naima Shalhoub and performance/visual poet Adrian Arias.
At 10am we will proceed to the Rules Committee to offer public comment on the SF Ceasefire Resolution. Find out all the ways you can support the passing of this resolution next week. Check out the toolkit here and activate with us!
