[Peace] BUDZINSKI / PRESS CONFERENCE UPDATE

[Karen Medina]

Dear Peace,

[The Friday demonstration was a great. I guestimate 60 people attended.
There were some really great signs. My favorite "Mass Murder has no
Justification EVER." / I am sharing the official report below. --karen

*NIKKI BUDZINSKI / PRESS CONFERENCE UPDATE*
On Friday, 2/23/2024, the CU Muslim Action Committee, UC Jews for
Ceasefire, and the Unitarian Universalist Church of UC held a
demonstration/press conference demanding Nikki Budzinski do four things:

   1. Sign the US House of Representatives Ceasefire Resolution
   2. Publicly call for and help facilitate the sending of humanitarian aid
   into Gaza
   3. Stop US military aid to Israel now
   4. Meet in-person with Arab, Muslim and Palestinian constituents who
   have lost loved ones in Gaza

We marched to her office in Champaign to make the same demands. Leaders
from the inter-faith groups spoke to her district manager, Brian, and *were
able to schedule a video conference with Representative Budzinski for
Thursday 2/29.*

We call on the community to echo our calls to her so she knows our demands
are shared by the majority of her constituents.

*We are aiming for 1,000 calls to her office between today and Thursday! *
