The following post comes from the Portside project and the Coalition of Labor Union Women. It does not reflect the opinions of the Marion-Polk-Yamhill Central Labor Chapter or the Oregon AFL-CIO.
The Coalition of Labor Union Women president Elise Bryant and Executive Director Virginia Rodino recently spoke at a press conference for a Permanent Ceasefire. Watch the video to see the entire event.
President Bryant told the crowd in front of the White House, "When armed conflict erupts, it is women and girls who pay the highest price. We in CLUW and the entire labor movement are relieved to see Israeli civilian hostages and Palestinian political prisoners returning home to their families. We are fighting for a world in which all families can be together. The only way to actually achieve that—to stop this violence—is through a permanent ceasefire now."
