JVP shuts down NYC’s Manhattan Bridge to demand a permanent ceasefire.

On November 27, a four-day “ceasefire” was extended for two days. The pause and its extension were no doubt the result of the extraordinary pressure being exerted by the movement for Palestinian liberation. But a “pause” in genocide is not enough.

That’s why JVP is keeping up the pressure. On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, 1,500 people led by JVP-NYC shut down New York City’s Manhattan Bridge on the busiest travel day of the year to demand a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.
