San Francisco becomes\u00a0the largest US city to adopt a ceasefire resolution.<\/strong>

Thank you to the San Francisco\u00a0families, teachers, workers, healthcare professionals, youth, community\u00a0and union leaders who showed up, gave public comments, called, emailed and organized for the last several weeks to ensure that San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors stands on the\u00a0right side of history, and acts in\u00a0the interests of the vast majority of our city\u2019s diverse communities.\u00a0In a 8-3 supermajority vote, the\u00a0Board adopted a resolution calling for an immediate and sustained ceasefire in the ongoing Israeli bombardment of Gaza. The vote comes after weeks of broad community support for the resolution, with a record number turning out in the thousands for board meetings and tens of thousands of emails sent to the board, urging them to pass the resolution.

The people of San Francisco have been consistent in saying NO to genocide, NO to ethnic cleansing, and YES to dignity for Palestinians and all people.\u00a0This resolution is a good first step in the long road ahead for our people to be represented with the dignity and respect they deserve, and shows that the board and our city stand against bigotry and racism of all forms. As we mourn the devastating loss of our loved ones, we will \u00a0continue our work to end this genocidal war, and to advance peace and justice here in San Francisco and around the world.\u00a0

International Day of Action to Demand\u00a0
#CeasefireNOW\u00a0#StopArmingIsrael
January 26, 2024<\/strong>

Our community is losing loved ones each day, and our members are charging Biden with genocide. AROC has joined partner organizations in submitting\u00a0an amicus brief in support of the genocide complaint being heard in the federal court in Oakland on January 26th.<\/strong>

The Biden administration is complicit in the unfolding genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. A lawsuit from Center for Constitutional Rights on behalf of Palestinians from Gaza, including 3 Bay Area community members,\u00a0has been brought against Pres. Biden, Secretary Blinken, and Secretary Austen for their failure to prevent this genocide, on behalf of millions of Palestinians who are enduring the devastating effects of Israel\u2019s rampage and occupation.

The case will be heard by the Oakland Federal Court! Bay Area, let’s rise up to hold the Biden Administration accountable for this genocide! Details to come!<\/strong>

On January 26, we encourage all people of conscience to take action while the lawsuit is being heard in the courtroom. If powerful countries are not held to their human rights obligations to prevent genocide, the law must be taken into the streets.

This complaint is directed against President Joe Biden and senior government officials\u2014who filed a motion to dismiss the case on December 8\u2014for their roles in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.\u00a0Join us as part of the international day of action on January 26th, when the case will be heard\u00a0in Oakland, California.\u00a0\"\"AROC &\u00a0PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS SUBMIT AMICUS BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF GENOCIDE COMPLAINT AGAINST BIDEN ADMINISTRATION<\/strong>
