In response to Senator Chris Van Hollen's announcement that he supports a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and Israel, IfNotNow Baltimore leader Dr. Zackary Berger released the following statement:

“We're glad that Senator Van Hollen has joined the movement for a lasting ceasefire, following months of meetings, calls, and protests from Maryland residents. IfNotNow was proud to join the historic coalition of 180+ Baltimore organizations for a rally at Sen. Van Hollen's office to demand he call for a ceasefire. With over 25,000 Palestinians killed by Israel's assault on Gaza, it is past time for Congress and President to push for a lasting ceasefire, hostage exchange, humanitarian aid, and a path to peace that ensures equality, justice, and a thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis.”
