LOS ANGELES — The governing body of the L.A. teachers union has weighed in on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, voting Wednesday to support a congressional effort to block the sale of more than $20 billion in U.S. weaponry to Israel on the grounds that American-supplied arms were being used against civilians.
The United Teachers Los Angeles union vote calls for California Sens. Alex Padilla and Laphonza Butler "to pledge their support" for a government action called a "Joint Resolutions of Disapproval," which, according to its sponsors, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), would halt the sales of specific armaments to Israel. The issue is expected to be taken up after the Senate reconvenes in November.
UTLA's stated goal is "to promote a peaceful solution to the expanding war in the Middle East in line with our March 2024 call for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine."
