New York State Attorney General Letitia James circulated a petition to Democrats addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Early drafts did not include a condemnation of Hamas but highlighted a famine unfolding in the region. The petition urges Americans to support relief efforts and calls for diplomatic action. Following inquiries, the AG's office issued a revised version condemning Hamas for the October 7th massacre while asserting the urgent need for humanitarian aid. The situation was framed as a significant moment for American leadership and moral accountability.
A famine is unfolding in Gaza before the eyes of the world, and a coalition of multiracial, multiethnic, and multifaith elected officials is calling for immediate action to address this humanitarian catastrophe.
We urge our fellow Americans to speak out, support relief efforts, and demand that our leaders use every tool of diplomacy to end this crisis, as history will remember what we did in this moment.
