“I am a Holocaust survivor. I experienced as a child every single thing a Gazan child is experiencing on a daily basis. There’s no excuse 4 the slaughter of 15K children. I am proud to be here with you.”

Amazing Jewish solidarity at encampment at GWU #FreePalestine #Occupy4Gaza

Over the next couple of days, as student organizing continues, we will witness a disproportionate use of state violence, facilitated by an academic elite, against students that will impact those with less privilege the most. Unless we stop it, the violence could be fatal.

Knuck if you buck

a good day to remember that Columbia University is the largest land owner in NYC and skips paying $179 million on taxes every year 😏

solidarity with students on all campuses right now facing the most deliberate and intense forms of repression

Bad political news for Mayor Eric Adams: 'In all five of the city’s boroughs, likely voters overwhelmingly disapprove of Adams’s job performance. Even in his strongest demographic, black voters, Adams’s approval rating is net negative.' manhattan.institute/article/pollin…

If you’re wondering why the crackdown on Columbia University students is so vicious it’s because we all know the incredible power of student movements. Students have brought the most forceful and well endowed tyrants and systems to their knees. They are so scared of you.

Also opening on ditmars in Astoria!

Hope our neighbors had a good Eid 🌙

It was great to stop by MALIKAH’s picnic in Astoria Park and as always amazing organizing by Rana Abdelhamid رانا عبدالحميد and team!

After months of planning, our team at Malikah hosted the 1st ever Ramadan Night Market in Astoria’s Little Egypt. Over 5,000 people came through to support our smallest businesses! It was so incredibly moving and an unapologetic display of our culture.

NOW: On the 1st day of Arab American Heritage Month, I’m joining MALIKAH with Sen. Mike Gianaris to call for passage of our bill to require state agencies, boards, departments & commissions to disaggregate demographic data of NYers with Middle Eastern or North African origin.

In collaboration with MALIKAH , Nalafem co-hosted a roundtable to celebrate African women and renew commitment to advancing the rights and well-being of African immigrant women in New York City.

A movement for Palestine grows in NYC
