As the mayoral administration transitions, NYC Educators for Palestine asks the incoming administration to consider and respond to the following experiences and demands.

Jamaal Bowman presents an equity and justice model of leadership that prioritizes people over bureaucracy. NYC Educators for Palestine is proud to stand in support of him as our next chancellor. @nycschools.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @council.nyc.gov www.change.org/p/support-dr...

The teachers left inspired and determined to chip away at the investments in Israeli companies, knowing that campaigns like this take many years to organize before being successful. @nycedpalestine.bsky.social fightbacknews.org/articles/nyc...

The genocide is not over. We are dealing with overseers and executioners of an extermination campaign of children.

So many mutual aid requests coming out of Gaza. People are desperate for food, medicine, water. If you can’t donate, the least you can do is share.

Literally ethnic cleansing.

Please donate and share, share, share! Thank you so much.

MORE CONCILIATORY THAN PREVIOUS AUTHORITARIANS, WILL NEW YORK SEE A NEW DAY DAWNING?: “Zohran supports an end to mayoral control and envisions a system instead in which parents, students, educators and administrators work together,”  www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

Andrew Cuomo couldn’t allow his first, tepid recognition of reality — that the Israeli government, with the full support of the Trump administration, is starving the people of Gaza — last more than a few hours without walking it back. This is someone who believes in nothing.

UFT delegates voted to endorse Mamdani because they believe he is the best candidate in the race to advance our union’s agenda: to protect our premium-free health care, fix Tier 6, pass the “RESPECT check” bill, implement the class size law, revamp mayoral control and more.

“I will be proud to work with the union to fully fund our public schools, to ensure that every dollar we win — be it in City Hall or in Albany — for the purpose of education is actually going into our classrooms,” said @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at our press conference on the UFT endorsement. 👏👏

Hamas says Netanyahu 'unwilling' to reach Gaza ceasefire deal - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/hamas-says-netanyahu-unwilling-reach-gaza-ceasefire-deal

We entrust our city's future to the nearly 200,000 teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors and more of the UFT. Now more than ever, they need a mayor who recognizes their value and has their backs. I am honored to earn their endorsement.

Mic drop

🚨 HUGE: The largest teachers union in the U.S. just dropped the ADL. The reason? “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.” Read more: mondoweiss.net/2025/07/the-...

Israel’s Defense Minister said on Monday that he has instructed the military to prepare plans to force all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp where they will be imprisoned by Israeli soldiers.

Major news!!

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand went on an Islamophobic rant against Zohran Mamdani, falsely suggesting Mamdani made an explicit call for violence when he did not — ignoring the many times that Mamdani has denounced antisemitic violence.

NYC educators stand up for students from NYC to Palestine Gaza’s education system has been nearly erased. Most of the schools have been reduced to rubble, formal learning has come to a standstill, threatening to leave an entire generation without access to education or stability…

Muslim educators shouldn’t have to choose between fulfilling professional obligations and celebrating one of the most important days in their faith. We call on @nycschools.bsky.social to adjust the calendar to reflect the correct date. Sign & share: www.change.org/p/switch-eid...

NYC Educators for Palestine joined NYC Workers for Palestine and NYC Labor for Palestine at the union-led May Day rally demanding that our pensions be divested from Israeli apartheid and genocide! Palestine must be centered in the fight against Trump’s attacks ✊🇵🇸

The objective of the new film “October 8” is not to impart information but to cause panic— a panic the filmmakers hope will lead viewers to support the violent crackdowns on student Palestine activists that we are seeing across the U.S. right now. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/film...

Email, call, share. “…Chancellor Aviles-Ramos once again hides behind ‘political neutrality’ to suppress the voices of Palestinian NYCPS community members…committed to ending the unconscionable genocide in Palestine. Shame on Chancellor Aviles-Ramos.” www.instagram.com/139forpalest...

So this is what that group MACA or Mothers Against College Antisemtism had to say about NYU condemning urination on & defacement of Muslim prayer area— apparently this too threatens Jewish students. This is after they posted the ICE hotline. They’re a hate group. Plain and simple.

The prayer room at NYU — accessibly only via NYU ID — was vandalized with islamophobic graffiti and prayer mats were reportedly urinated on. NYU didn’t address the incident for several hours. Elected officials quick to condemn antisemitism have said nothing.

🚨 URGENT: Congress is voting on Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRD) to stop $8.8B in weapons sales to Israel. These weapons will further the destruction in Gaza, where the humanitarian crisis is worsening every day. SIGN & SHARE NOW! bit.ly/supportjrds Together, we can make a difference!

NYC mayor, himself currently under investigation for fraud & conspiracy, feels sad that a political prisoner is getting more attention than him.

All students should be protected by their universities, and the fact that they can get kicked out and threatened with deportation simply for protesting against war crimes shows how at the end of the day these institutions can be used as agents of white supremacy to uphold systems of inequality.

In another act of collective punishment upon the people of Gaza, the Israeli government announced on March 2, 2025, that it will resume the blockade of all aid into the Gaza Strip. The decision came as the first phase of the ceasefire expired. #Gaza #Genocide #CollectivePunishment

Again this is a war crime. The crime of collective punishment. The Israeli Government is not above international law. Israel’s energy minister said on Sunday that he was immediately cutting off electricity to the Gaza Strip. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/w...

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing heightened threats of thirst, disease and starvation after Israel’s energy minister abruptly shut off all electric power to Gaza on Sunday. The blackout idled a wastewater treatment plant www.democracynow.org/2025/3/10/he...
