PPDC initial and subsequent statements
on the horrific attacks of 10/7/23

10/9/23
The Pacific Palisades Democratic Club condemns the brutal attacks that took place in Israel, and our hearts go out to all who are suffering. We acknowledge the complexities of the political situation in the region and support those who call for peaceful resolutions and respect for human rights. There is absolutely no justification for terrorist acts against civilians, or military attacks against a democratic nation, and we stand with Israel after this national tragedy.
At our November board meeting we put out the following statement in light of continuing developments in the region:

The United States of America should offer its support to Israel in eliminating Hamas as a government organization in Gaza or anywhere, forever. We also must protect the lives, welfare, and human rights of Israelis, Palestinians, Americans, and all peoples everywhere.

We work to ensure that the following Democratic values
and goals stay or become fundamental American priorities:

Abortion & Contraception

Every woman should have access to quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion.

Education

If we want to improve the woeful state of our public education system, we need to close the Prop 13 corporation loophole.

Environment & Climate Change

We must diligently protect our environment and aggressively fight climate change.

Electing Democrats

We help elect Democrats to local, state, county, and federal offices.

Gun Safety & Legislation

We need to continue to support a ban on assault weapons as well as devices such as bump stocks used to turn rifles into automatic weapons..

Social, Economic, & Racial Justice

Justice can only be achieved through understanding the connections between systemic racism, chronic poverty, environmental devastation, and war economics.
