The Artists4Ceasefire open letter was sent to Biden and Congress in an effort to get the U.S. government to persuade both parties to de-escalate hostilities in the region after weeks of fighting.

Howard Rodman conveyed the following message in the open letter: “I’m calling to urge you to stand on the side of humanity and call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the safe return of all hostages, and the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to the civilians in Gaza.”

Rodman’s participation in signing the Artists4Ceasefire letter demonstrates his concern for the Palestinians while indirectly appealing to Israel to halt the continuous attacks on Gaza, which have claimed the lives of thousands of women, young children, and elderly individuals.
