Last week, members of the House Rules Committee held a long-anticipated hearing on House Joint Resolution 2, Maryland’s Ceasefire Resolution. In recent weeks, Marylanders have sent over 37,000 letters to lawmakers and made hundreds of calls in support of this measure. At least 35,000 Palestinians have been killed in recent weeks, the majority of whom are children and women. As discussions around this resolution take place within the Maryland General Assembly, it is crucial to prioritize the sanctity of human life. This General Assembly rightfully unanimously passed a resolution supporting Ukraine two years ago.
