For the Sunday March 31, 2024 episode of Mic Check, host Mike Merli sat down with James Shaham, live in the studio. James Shaham is an American-Palestinian community member and organizer with Bridgeport for Ceasefire. James speaks about his unique journey, as well as experiences and injustices his family has suffered, the conditions in the Occupied West Bank, and why the Ceasefire Resolution in Bridgeport matters. On January 2, Bridgeport made history by becoming the first city in Connecticut to pass a Ceasefire Resolution. This inspiring achievement made national news, and inspired other cities to organize Ceasefire Resolution campaigns as well. To connect with Bridgeport for Ceasefire: www.instagram.com/bpt4ceasefire
