Jewish Voice for Peace Protesters Occupy Senator Cory Booker’s Office Building Lobby

HeadlineOct 17, 2025

In New Jersey, protesters led by Jewish Voice for Peace on Thursday occupied the lobby of a Newark high-rise that’s home to an office of Democratic Senator Cory Booker. Protesters wore shirts reading “Stop Arming Israel” and carried messages including “Booker Let Gaza Live” and “Booker Stop Funding Genocide.” They cited Senator Booker’s votes to send $26 billion to support Israel’s assault on Gaza last year and to eliminate funding to the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees. Booker also voted against Bernie Sanders’s joint resolutions of disapproval to block U.S. arms transfers to Israel.
