Access to water, food, electricity, and medical services are little to non-existent. Constant bombing is leveling city blocks. After Israel ordered people in Northern Gaza to evacuate, over 1.1 million Palestinians are forced to weigh displacement or death. This is all happening with consent and encouragement of our government and our tax dollars. The full-throated support for war from Congress members such as Pat Ryan have only increased the death toll of Palestinians and Israelis. But just as our influence is wielded for war, the opposite is true. We can demand a ceasefire and have the responsibility to do so. Right now, there are over a dozen members of Congress pushing for an immediate ceasefire and a safe pathway for humanitarian aid. As residents of the Hudson Valley, we call on Congressman Ryan to sign onto the ceasefire resolution being circulated by Representative Bush and take immediate steps to deescalate and pressure Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. We cannot bomb our way to peace, and we must not let our country continue its complicity in this horror. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-pat-ryan-we-demand-ceasesfire-now
