Statement on the conflict in Palestine
"Words fail us at this time. With great humility, we call for the immediate humane treatment of the people of Palestine; including but not limited to a cease-fire in the current conflict and a restorative process to rectify the poverty and suffering imposed on the people of Palestine.
The actions perpetrated upon the people of Palestine result in genocide.
In all this, the government of these United States of America is complicit."
-Coordinating Council of the Albuquerque Peace and Justice Center 2023-2024
