More About Frederick for Justice in Palestine:

Since April 2024, community members have been attending and testifying at City and County Council Public meetings to urge our local governing bodies to join the growing call for a permant ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the US Complicity in the ongoing Gaza Genocide. Formerly known as Frederick Ceasefire Now, Frederick for Justice in Palestine (FJP) has met with members of each governing body to try and work on resolutions to pass at a local level. Despite listening and promises for follow-ups or letters of endorsement, only 1 City Council Member was brave enough to introduce a resolution in August of 2025 but could not get a second to support adding it to the agenda.

Below you will find the FJP drafts provided to each body which, unfortunately, have chosen not to act on our call to action. Still we persist! We know this is the right and moral thing to do, for Frederick City to join the other over 170+ juristictions across the Nation advocating for an end to our complicity and financial support of the Genocide in Gaza. Free Palestine!

Permanent Ceasefire Document

(May 2025)

FJP Co-drafted this Ceasefire Document with one of our local Frederick City Council members in May and June of 2025. It was broadened from our initial draft to denounce militarism in general and call for an end to U.S. involved violence globally, including in Gaza and Palestine.

Frederick Ceasefire Resolution - May 2024.pdf

Permanent Ceasefire Document

(July 2024)

This is FJP's original Ceasefire Resolution from May of 2024. Most of the demands made in this document are still valid requirements of a meaningful, lasting peace, though the language we used to describe those demands has evolved over the course of this genocide.
