CU MAC Calls on Rep. Budzinksi and Miller, Sen. Durbin and Duckworth to Take Action Now as Global Sumud Flotilla Under Attack

Champaign-Urbana – Central Illinois resident, Jessica Coltfelter, is aboard the non-violent humanitarian mission to break the siege on Gaza and deliver aid. Her vessel, the Ohwayla, was just attacked in international waters along with ten other vessels. This is a breach of international law. CU Muslim Action Committee calls on our elected officials across the state to take action now to protect Jessica and all the volunteers of the Global Sumud Flotilla.

We call on Representative Nikki Budzinski, Representative Mary Miller, Senator Dick Durbin, and Senator Tammy Duckworth to prioritize and ensure the safety of Jessica Coltfelter along with all of the volunteers on all the vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla.

The Global Sumud Flotilla are a coalition of everyday people—organizers, humanitarians, doctors, artists, clergy, lawyers, and seafarers—who believe in human dignity and the power of nonviolent action. They are a multinational group who are independent, international, and unaffiliated with any government or political party. Their allegiance is to justice, freedom, and the sanctity of human life.

We call on all people of conscience to take action today:

  1. I can only take you (Rep. Budzinski) as representing me and this community if you put our needs and desires first. I DON’T WANT TO KILL CHILDREN FOR ISRAEL!!!! Quit accepting AIPAC blood money. Our hands are stained enough.

  2. Thank you for considering this…
    Please do a little homework:
    * find out how many Jewish organizations are wanting to end Israel’s blockade.
    * how many children in Gaza have amputations since October 8, 2023.

    Yes, Hamas’ attack was brutal. But more civilian deaths are not justified.
    Mass slaughter has no justification ever.
