Petition: End Military Support for Israel. Trigger a Leahy Law review of the Israeli Military NOW
Representatives Cina of Burlington, Cole of Hartford, Headrick of Burlington, Logan of Burlington, McGill of Bridport, and Tomlinson of Winooski have introduced this resolution in the Vermont House of Representatives. The resolution calls for a global ceasefire and an end to all war; the initiation of processes for truth and reconciliation, reparation of harm, and promotion of recovery; support for the people of both Palestine and Israel in the resolution of conflict; and the end of apartheid.
Read the full bill here, and keep an eye on this space for how you can support passage of this resolution and the effort in 17 Vermont towns to pass anti-apartheid resolutions at town meetings and by ballot in March.
