We hosted a webinar titled "How to Get Your City Council to Pass a Gaza Ceasefire Resolution: Lessons from State College, PA", where we explored the strategies behind the successful campaign to get the State College Borough Council to unanimously pass a Gaza Ceasefire Resolution.

Here's what we covered:

  • Insights from two representatives of the State College Coalition for Ceasefire, who offer firsthand experience and expertise in navigating local council dynamics to achieve meaningful change.
