In Massachusetts, the Cambridge City Council has rejected a resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

On Monday the resolution failed after just two Council members voted yes, and the remainder voted present. The vote came after members of the public

lined up for over three hours to speak, most of them in favor of a ceasefire.

And it followed a candlelight vigil outside Cambridge City Hall where protesters read the names of Palestinian victims of Israel's assault.

Democracy Now's Hanim has sued filed this report from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

My name is Nadeen.

We are at the steps of Cambridge City Hall.

Some of us are writing the names of those that have been martyred,

those that have been killed in Gaza since October 7th.

Many of us are listening as the names of those that have also been killed are read aloud, many of whom are from the same family,

even just looking at the names now, I haven't even gone through the same gone beyond one family.

We can estimate that if we were to read the most up-to-date list,

this would take over 22 hours. Let that sink in. My name's Marilyn Frankenstein. I'm from

Brooklyn, New York. I'm a Brooklyn Jew. And I'm so, so opposed to the genocide

that Israel is raining down on the Palestinians and has

been for 75 years.
