The #CLOSErikers campaign launched on the steps of City Hall in April 2016. One year later, we have grown in power and numbers, and achieved concrete wins. Mayor de Blasio has committed to shuttering the Rikers Island jails for good, and the Lippman Commission's final report recommended closure, as well as concrete policy reforms to reduce incarceration in New York city and state. We should all celebrate these important wins, but our work is not done! W​e must continue to ​organize, pressure ​stakeholders, and ensure that impacted communities​ ​​remain at the ​center of the process. Join the #CLOSErikers campaign, back on the steps of City Hall, as we celebrate this historic moment, and double down on our efforts to #CLOSErikers and #buildCOMMUNITIES!

Location: 
City Hall, NYC

In the face of deportations, border walls, hate crimes, religious bigotry and police violence, Pesach is a gift from the very heart of our traditions, giving us the strength to take action and the tools to change our own story. Just when we need it most, it reminds us that we know how to resist oppression and win. 
 
On April 13th, JFREJ will be holding a giant Seder in the Streets to celebrate our 5777-year history of resistance and demand that our political leaders stand up to the administration and create real sanctuary, real safety and real justice for all New Yorkers. Please join us as we celebrate our strength as a community and demonstrate our commitment to the liberation of all people.
