City of Chicago Cease-fire Update:
Call your Alderpeople for a Cease-fire ahead of the City Council Vote on Wednesday, January 31st, 2024.
The Muslim Community Center of Chicago, MCC is hopeful with city of Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnsons recent comments during a press conference and his stand for calling for a cease-fire to stop the killings in the Gaza will have an impact with the City Council of Chicago to officially vote for a Ceasefire in Gaza.
It has been over a 100 days since this genocide began, with over 25,000 civilian casualties of men, women and children; Gaza has a dense population of women and children.
Current situations are horrendous, with no food, water, medical attention, displacement, fatal injuries and orphaned children with no care and the continuing killings of innocent civilians in Gaza.
The cease-fire resolution would be symbolic in making Chicago the largest city in the country to pass such a measure.
The MCC is the largest and oldest mosque located in Chicagos 39th Ward in the city of Chicago. The MCC is in Illinois Cook County which is home to the largest Palestinian population than in any other county in the nation.
The city of San Francisco in the state of California has recently called for a cease-fire.
The MCC would like to acknowledge the work of Council of American Islamic Relations, CAIR-Chicago, Chicago Progressive Staffers, Palestinian organizations, Jewish organizations and the member of MCC, our Media Relations & PR committee for holding an Abrahamic Faith Leaders press conference calling for cease-fire in November of 2023. We also acknowledge our community members who reside in the city of Chicago who have been exercising their First Amendment right of freedom of speech and calling their respective Alderpeople to call for an immediate cease-fire.
The next City Council meeting is scheduled for January 31st, 2024 at 8:00 am at Chicagos City Hall, located at 121 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60602.
