Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“No Votes for Genocide”: Protesters in NYC Decry U.S. Support for Israel Ahead of Nov. 5

HeadlineNov 04, 2024

Here in New York City, protesters took to the streets Saturday to demand “No votes for Genocide.” Protesters decried both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump for supporting Israel’s war on Gaza and refusing to back an arms embargo on Israel. Participants at the protest included Claudia de la Cruz, who is running for president on the Party for Socialism and Liberation ticket.

Claudia de la Cruz: “We are here to remind the capitalist state that there is an entire movement of hundreds of thousands of people all across this country that has been demanding a ceasefire, that has been demanding an arms embargo, that has been demanding an end to the expansion of genocide and war in the Middle East, and that we have not been heard. We have not been considered. And in that same way, we will engage in our political right not to engage with a two-party system that continuously insists on paying for and bombing babies across the Middle East.”

Meanwhile, in London, pro-Palestinian protesters held a symbolic “die-in” in front of the British prime minister’s office on Saturday.
