CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE AND INTRODUCE DIVESTMENT STRATEGY: The Bakersfield City Council must introduce and adopt a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza along with a plan to divest from all Zionist corporations and weapons contractors who fund the occupation and its deadly campaign to eradicate Palestinians from their lands.

STOP THE GENOCIDE: This is the first and most urgent demand—the violence and destruction against Palestinians that, as of now, has taken the lives of more than 300,000 men, women, and children must stop now.

END THE SIEGE: The siege on Gaza that has been in place for more than 18 years must end immediately and without concessions.

STOP ALL AID: Cease all US aid to the ‘israeli’ entity—including the $4 Billion Dollars of annual aid given to the zionist project.

RELEASE THE IMPRISONED: Free all Palestinian hostages, including amongst them the men, women, and children held inside ‘israeli’ prisons.

RIGHT TO RETURN: Every Palestinian must be allowed to return to their homelands, whether it’s in occupied ’48 lands or any of the internationally recognized territories.

END THE OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE: Simply put—an end to the zionist occupation and its colonial project throughout Historic Palestine.
