"Isn't it wrong to kill other people's children?," asks @bradlander.bsky.social at #SederintheStreets. Plus Mayor Pothole's latest challenge: fixing NYC's legacy of systemic racism. My latest from #TheMamdaniBeat in @thenation.com:
Passover may be ending but our fight for liberation continues. Free them all. End deportations. Abolish ICE.
New York is for ALL.
#SederInTheStreets
#SederInTheStreets! On Pesach, NYC Jews against ICE, “praying with our feet” as Rabbi Heschel would say.
This #Juneteenth, take five minutes and listen to what JFREJ's Leo Ferguson said at #SederInTheStreets back in April about enslavement, freedom, policing & fascism, and more.

Okay there’s a joke around the crowd that this really is a Seder - the speeches are going long and everyone wants to know when we can eat #sederinthestreets
They’re breaking a giant novelty matzah!!! I love Jews. #jewsky #sederinthestreets @truahrabbis.bsky.social @ifnotnowboston.bsky.social
It is incredibly moving to have a leader like Rav Claudia Kreiman, of Temple Beth Zion, as my rabbi, leading us against authoritarianism and towards collective liberation. The traditions of Pesach require us to act urgently & with haste.

It feels so great to hear from leaders in the Jewish community and with hundreds of Jews from the Boston area to say that this cannot happen in our name. #SederInTheStreets #mapoli @truahrabbis.bsky.social #jewsky #Boston
“NO FASCISTS, NO PHARAOHS!”
In honor of Passover, NYC Jews, allies, and elected officials are rallying and marching against modern, would-be Pharaohs — Andrew Cuomo, Donald Trump, and Eric Adams — and for a better future for ALL New Yorkers. ✊ #SederInTheStreets
500+ Jews show up to stand with our immigrant neighbors in Boston and beyond against illegal deportations this Pesach @truahrabbis.bsky.social @ifnotnowboston.bsky.social @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social #SederintheStreets #freeMahmoud #freeRumeysah #freeMohsen
“It [fascism] has ambassadors across this city. It has an ambassador in City Hall today. It has an ambassador in a luxury high-rise in Midtown looking to be in City Hall tomorrow.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

“To gather during Passover — to gather together in honor of a holiday that celebrates liberation and celebrates freedom — I can think of few things that we need as urgently as the lessons of this very day.”
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on fighting fascism and Pharaohs 👏 #SederInTheStreets
“No one is more disdainful of basic accountability and democracy than the NYPD…. the foundation of fascism is a state that brutalizes us with impunity.”

“We stand up to Pharaohs when they deport students or arrest students off the streets.” @bradlander.bsky.social

“[Donald Trump], Eric Adams, and Andrew Cuomo — who have all used the so-called protection of Jews as justification for expanding their own power — how dare you?” -Rabbi Miriam Grossman

Passover is a story about the future — one that we create through our actions today.
This Pesach, we’re freeing ourselves from the oppressive conditions created by modern, would-be Pharaohs — Cuomo, Trump, and Adams — and dreaming of a future where ALL New Yorkers have dignity. #SederInTheStreets
Whether or not you joined us for Monday’s #LiberationSeder in Foley Square, come out this Thursday for #SederInTheStreets! Together, we’ll journey out of our current mitzrayim & into the safe, affordable NYC of our dreams where everyone has freedom & opportunity to build a future: jfrej.org/seder
