NORWALK --- Peace activists in
Fairfield County will gather here Tuesday night to ask the Norwalk City Council
to pass a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
People will rally at
6:45 pm ahead of the council meeting at the main entrance to City Hall, at 125
East Avenue, Norwalk.
“We hope to engage
council members about a ceasefire resolution as they enter the building for
their meeting,” said Stephanie Carrows, a member of the group calling for the
resolution.
She added that “for anyone who’d like to
attend, the main entrance is not on East Avenue but across from the building’s
parking lot, accessed off Sunset Hill Avenue.”
A number of towns and cities around the
country have passed Gaza ceasefire resolutions, including Bridgeport and
Windsor in Connecticut.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestnians, mostly
women and children, have been killed in Gaza by Israel since the war in Gaza
began in October, 2023, after Hamas militants raided a concert in southern
Israel and killed 1200 people. The world court has charged Israel with genocide
for their campaign.
