The New York Times 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.

“We’ve seen for far too long our elected leaders vote over and over again to send endless weapons to the Israeli military, even as they commit genocide and countless atrocities in full view of the world.”

– Danny Kaplowitz, JVP-NYC
