Local Actions Demand Congresspersons' Support for Ceasefire and Aid to Gaza
Rep. Dan Goldman (NY10)
Grace Meng (NY6)
Pauline Park and Naomi Brussel talk about recent NYC neighborhood protests at local offices of Grace Meng and Daniel Goldman. They describe the political histories of these two members of the House of Representatives on Zionism. Local activists are pressuring them to co-sponsor legislation (introduced by Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush) that calls on the Biden administration to facilitate an immediate ceasefire in Israel and occupied Palestine and to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
