Leftist Jewish groups in New York City say they will hold a protest against the war in Gaza and demand the Trump administration apply pressure on Israel to halt the war and increase humanitarian aid to the Strip.
Among the named speakers is New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, the city’s highest-ranking Jewish elected official.
The protest, called “Jews Say: No More,” will take place at 6:30 p.m. at Columbus Circle in Manhattan, across from the Trump International Hotel.
Groups backing the protest include T’ruah, Jews for Economic and Racial Justice, IfNotNow, and Israelis for Peace.
“We need to keep up the pressure and get more food and aid into Gaza NOW before more Palestinians die of starvation,” T’ruah says in a statement. “This event is a mass mobilization of American Jews who object to our government’s continued support for the policy of starvation and refusal to leverage its immense power to compel the admission of humanitarian aid.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
