“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Florida State Representative Angie Nixon has sponsored a resolution, HR 31C, in the Florida legislature, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The bill addresses the humanitarian crisis unfolding in 140 mile stretch of land and is a reflection of global support for an end to the violence directed at civilians. We, the below signatories, unequivocally stand with Rep. Nixon's resolution that centers humanity and justice for all.
For too long the state of Florida has been used as a testing ground of intolerance, and hate. We have seen attacks on freedoms of speech, attacks on protected classes of communities, on our education system, and on those that dare stand on moral high ground. We call on ALL Florida's state representatives to fight with Representative Nixon and all of their constituents across the state calling for an immediate ceasefire.
