JFREJers are proud to join our incredible new leader of NYC, @Zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to usher in a New Era! We were so glad to be present at the inauguration, celebrating the hard work of over 10,000 doors knocked and 80,000 calls made to Jewish voters by JFREJers!
This past weekend, 3 JFREJ rabbis & 1 cantor traveled from NYC to Minneapolis with @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social to answer a call for clergy from around the country to come support & bear witness as the city resists a brutal federal occupation. Here’s what they've reported back:

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."
In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

May Renee Nicole Good’s and Alex Pretti’s memories be a blessing. May their courage and goodness and divine light ignite a fire in all of us so strong that it melts ICE to the ground.
Rabbi @abbystein.bsky.social & @lilygreenbergcall.bsky.social recite the mourner's kaddish at #ReneeNicoleGood's memorial. This is the place where she was murdered by ICE.

#ICEOutForGood march has started in NYC with THOUSANDS of NYers protesting in freezing temps.
We refuse to let this administration target our cities one by one. Our communities deserve to live free from raids, detention, and the expanding reach of surveillance.

#NY4All would protect due process and keep communities safe. But this week, Gov. Hochul claimed the system is “working.”
It’s not.

Proud of my colleagues in MN this week. And inviting all of us in NYC to Union Square tomorrow at 4. Let's show our neighbors to the north some solidarity and show ICE the door.
On January 23rd, we take to the streets to challenge Palantir and Amazon for enabling ICE to rip our communities apart and for fueling the machinery of mass deportation and family separation.

Body cams give them propaganda for their Nazi social media channels. Body cams will make this WORSE. Ds who don't understand that are not living in the real world.
Body cams are premised on the idea that *someone* in the officer's chain of command would have a problem with bad behavior and might impose penalties or sanctions as a result of documented bad behavior. In the case of ICE today, THE ENTIRE CHAIN OF COMMAND is prescribing this behavior.
Absolute garbage.
Call your reps and tell them NO BODY CAMS, NO TRAINING - ICE CANNOT BE "REFORMED." ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES, THEN DEFUND AND ABOLISH ARE THE ONLY OPTIONS.
Find your reps here: reps.fyi
They are giving ICE *MORE* money with these garbage "reforms." More money to HURT US.

Though understandably overlooked due to Z's star power, another major electoral win in NYC last year was the election of more progressives to the Council.

Fresh off the momentum of a strong finish to the '24-'25 term, which saw us pass approximately half of all introductions, and run successful budget campaigns that won billions of dollars for housing and crisis response initiatives, we're growing to meet the moment of a new era at City Hall 🔽 🔽 🔽
