A Palestinian flag flies at an October 2023 rally in Dearborn calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Ann Arbor’s school board passed a resolution that, among other things, called for a ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution passed four to one with two members abstaining.

Ann Arbor was one of the first school boards to address the war in Gaza with a resolution like this. On this episode of the Stateside podcast, we spoke with one school board trustee about the resolution and on why they voted "yes."

GUEST ON THIS EPISODE:

  • Rima Mohammed, trustee and president of the Ann Arbor School Board
