I had local elected council members, school board members, again, didn't share my faith or ethnicity, reaching out to our office, saying, hey, you know, have this resolution. Can I show it to you? And then they come back to me and said, look, The President of the board is like, can we take the word ceasefire? Ceasefire was a bad word. It was so fucked up.
