After persistent efforts spanning several months, constituents of Rep. Grace Meng successfully arranged a virtual meeting with her to address their concerns on the Israel-Hamas conflict and discuss her stance on the Gaza ceasefire issue.
Close to a hundred people attended a Zoom meeting on Jan. 12 to convince the congresswoman to acknowledge the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and support a ceasefire resolution. But the advocates of different faiths and races, who make up the Queens 6th District Ceasefire Coalition, say that they felt silenced and dismissed during the call.
