Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Zohran Mamdani Joins NYC Jewish Community to Say “No Fascists, No Pharaohs” at Passover Action

HeadlineApr 18, 2025

Here in New York City, members of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, their allies, and elected leaders gathered Thursday for the group’s annual “Seder in the Streets” on the sixth night of Passover. The protest took place under the banner of “No fascists, no pharaohs.” New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani spoke at the event.

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani: “And we know that in this moment in this city, when one in four New Yorkers is living in poverty, when 500,000 children go to sleep hungry every night, when more than 90% of New Yorkers agree that affordability is a serious issue, that this freedom is not just a right to live with our families in homes, but to be able to afford that home, to afford that dinner that we can share together as we break that bread.”
