We, the residents of Calexico, are a united community that values all life and upholds the principles of equality and human rights. Our city is home to a plethora of ethnically and religiously diverse community members who empathize with the people in Palestine. Many among us have family in Palestine and in Occupied-Palestine. We feel their pain as they face immense hardships due to the ongoing ethnic cleansing.Over two million lives are at imminent risk if a permanent ceasefire is not achieved in Gaza. Continuous humanitarian aid must be assured for these innocent civilians who include people of all ages, races, and religions - all facing genocide, targeted specifically for being Palestinian, at the hands of Israeli force.

Here I include a copy of the proposed resolution (English):
