1. Wide of Unions for ceasefire press conference
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Cori Bush, (D) Missouri:
“The union members and leaders here today are part of a growing coalition of national and local unions who are standing up and calling for an immediate and a lasting ceasefire because they know that their advocacy for the rights of workers and all people are without limitations, are without boundaries, and without borders.”
3. Mid of Rep. Cori Bush speaking
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Rashida Tlaib, (D) Michigan:
“You all know that I'm a proud daughter of a UAW worker, and I know my yaba. If he was here, he would be so proud. So proud. The UAW taught him- He deserves human dignity, even though he only had fourth grade education, even though he was Palestinian, even though he was Muslim. On that assembly line, he was equal to every single human being on that line.”
5. Cutaway of activists at ceasefire press conference
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Rashida Tlaib, (D) Michigan:
“President Biden has called himself the most pro-union president in American history. But he is ignoring the voices of working people across the country who are demanding human dignity not only for their own families, but for families in Gaza and around the world.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Shawn Fain, United Automobile Workers, President:
“The world's seen enough slaughter and devastation. Peace is the only path forward. While we call for a cease fire and we also condemn anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, anti-Arab, racism, all of which are growing in our nation at this moment and must be stopped.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D) Minnesota:
“This is a reckoning moment. The entire body of international law, a system the United States helped design in the wake of the horrors of the Holocaust, is being crumbled as the US allows these war crimes to continue. Our standing in the world as a beacon of hope, a nation that respects the rule of law, is collapsing.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Jahnavi Madani, United Electrical Workers:
“Labor unions are not just a means for a fair wage. They are fundamentally a means for building power as the US funds Israel's campaign of terror. We, the workers, are footing the bill for the massacre of innocents in Palestine. This is the time for workers to leverage our labor power and electoral power to stand in uncompromising solidarity with the cause of Palestinian freedom.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Gene Brusca, National Labor Network for a Ceasefire
“And this week, the 3 million member National Education Association, Jill Biden's union, came out for a cease fire.(cheers) The right wing government of Israel is taking the lasting trauma of Israeli Jews from the Holocaust and is using it to traumatize generations of Palestinians whose trauma will inevitably result in a new generation of resistance to occupation. We can't accept that.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D) New York:
“Because we know that our brothers and sisters in the fight for economic justice and material security, we cannot unwind ourselves from the destiny of all other workers in the world. And that means standing for peace and standing for a ceasefire in Gaza now.”
