Hello,
I wanted to reach out again regarding the ceasefire resolution coming up next Tuesday.
I am really hoping we can gain your support for this resolution and show the city of Fayetteville, state of Arkansas
and entire country, we value human lives. I believe in this council and knowing a Ukraine resolution was passed
unanimously (8-0), gives me hope we will see the same result come next Tuesday!
Thank you for time and looking forward to celebrating this achievement together!
Best,
Walker Morris
