FULLERTON, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2024 / Amidst continual tensions in the Israel-Palestine conflict, Congressional candidate Cheyenne Hunt becomes the only candidate in her race to call for an immediate ceasefire and a renewed commitment to peace and diplomacy. Recognizing the deep-rooted complexities of this long-standing dispute, Hunt underscores the need for a resolution that respects the dignity and rights of all parties involved.

"The situation in Israel and Palestine demands not just our attention but our empathy and understanding," stated Hunt. "While we advocate for a ceasefire, it’s crucial to acknowledge both the rights of Israel to engage in a targeted campaign against Hamas after the brutality of Oct. 7 and the rights of the Palestinian people to be free from violence, have their human rights upheld, and to have a path toward statehood. This conflict, with its tragic cycle of violence and suffering, calls for a solution that upholds international law and human rights."

Hunt stresses the importance of protecting civilian lives and addressing the humanitarian crisis that affects countless individuals in the region. "In our pursuit of peace, we must ensure that the fundamental rights and welfare of the civilian population are at the forefront. The international community must come together to provide aid and support to those who are suffering."

Reflecting on the broader implications of the conflict, Hunt highlights the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach. "Peace in the region is not just about negotiating a ceasefire. We must actively oppose extremism in all its forms, whether it’s anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim sentiment or the dehumanization of any group."

Hunt’s stance is rooted in a vision of a future where mutual respect and understanding pave the way for lasting peace. "While the path to peace may seem daunting, it is our responsibility to strive for a world where future generations of Israelis and Palestinians can live in security and dignity. Let us commit to a discourse that prioritizes our shared humanity and the universal desire for peace."

Hunt remains committed to supporting diplomatic efforts and advocating for peace in the region.

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2024 / RedChip Companies will air interviews with INNO Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:INHD) and ASP Isotopes, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASPI) on The RedChip Small Stocks Big Money® Show, a sponsored program on Bloomberg TV, this Saturday, January 20, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). Bloomberg TV is available in an estimated 73 million homes across the U.S.

Access the interviews in their entirety at:

• INNO Holdings: https://www.redchip.com/assets/access/inhd_access
• ASP Isotopes: https://www.redchip.com/assets/access/aspi_access

In an exclusive interview, Alice Gong, COO of INNO Holdings, appears on the RedChip Small Stocks Big Money® Show on Bloomberg TV to provide a corporate update. INNO Holdings is transforming the construction industry with its innovative approach to sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective building methods. Utilizing advanced steel-framing technology, the Company’s solutions reduce construction times by over 50% while significantly cutting labor costs. INNO Holdings manufactures metal studs, prefab wall panels, joists, and trusses offsite, delivering assembled products ready for erection and connection. This approach results in cleaner, more organized construction sites with fewer safety hazards. As a trailblazer in the burgeoning $235.4 billion offsite construction market, INNO Holdings is seizing the opportunity presented by the increasing trend toward modular building techniques. With tailwinds from President Biden’s Executive Order 14057 and the Los Angeles City Council’s recent ban on wood-frame buildings, there is a growing demand for INNO’s products. The Company isn’t merely offering an alternative to traditional construction methods; it’s establishing a new industry standard and delivering unparalleled value to its commercial, residential, and industrial clients. With upcoming product launches and an existing order backlog exceeding $15 million, INNO Holdings appears to be on the cusp of substantial growth.

Paul Mann, CEO of ASP Isotopes, appears on the RedChip Small Stocks Big Money® Show on Bloomberg TV to provide a corporate update. ASP Isotopes successfully acquired two incomplete ASP plants in Pretoria, South Africa, and obtained the required licenses from the nuclear regulators, including the Non-proliferation Council of South Africa, to complete construction of the plants and produce commercial product. Cold commissioning of the first manufacturing plant, capable of enriching light isotopes, was completed in Q1 2023, and ASP Isotopes entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with a North American customer for the entire offtake of the Company’s first light isotope plant. The Company intends to enter into "take or pay" style offtake agreements with customers and expects to be a leading supplier of non-nuclear enriched isotopes by 2028. ASP Isotopes has secured multiple supply agreements, including a 25-year agreement valued at up to $27 million per annum with BRICEM (Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Engineering Metallurgy) to supply highly enriched Molybdenum-100 (Mo-100); a multi-year agreement with a Canadian company valued at $3.8 million per annum for Carbon-14 (C-14), the most frequently used radiolabel healthcare; a $9 million supply agreement with a US customer for a highly enriched isotope – customer made a $900,000 prepayment during Q3 2023 with commercial deliveries anticipated beginning in Q1 2024; and two MOUs for High Assay Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU) – $30 billion of HALEU demand expected based on initial discussions with customers. HC Wainwright initiated coverage of ASP Isotopes in December 2023 with a buy rating and $3.25 per share price target.
