At this gathering, faith leaders will call for:
- An immediate end to the blockade and military assault on Gaza.
- Increased media accessibility to responsibly amplify the truth on the ground, and to humanize the victims.
- U.S. elected officials to halt arms sells and transfers and to restore humanitarian aid channels.
- Interfaith solidarity rooted in compassion, justice, and the sanctity of human life.
“This press conference is not symbolic—it is a moral imperative,” said Mustafaa Carroll, Executive Director CAIR DFW. “As people of faith, we cannot remain silent in the face of deliberate famine and suffering. Our shared humanity compels us to act.”
Clergy, Imams and leaders, and community members from across North Texas will join in prayer, protest, and purpose, sending a powerful message: Silence is not an option.
