The Associated Press reported on a JVP-led protest where hundreds of people shut down the street outside Senators Schumer and Gillibrand’s offices to demand they vote to block the sale of U.S. weapons to Israel while it continues its genocide in Gaza and escalates regional war.

“This is the moment when Schumer and Gillibrand must listen to their constituents. The majority of Americans and New Yorkers want a resolution to what the Israeli government is doing.”
