We warned you about NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. When Mamdani announced he was keeping her as NYPD Commissioner, we organized over 100 organizations to oppose her appointment and laid out her record of racist policing, mass surveillance, repression of protesters, and collaboration with Israeli occupation forces. These demands came from the streets, from the communities that have been subjected to this violence for years. The movement was right to oppose Tisch then, and we’re right to demand her resignation now. We are recirculating our statement and calling on every organization that has not yet signed to add its name. TISCH OUT. DISBAND THE SRG. ABOLISH ICE. wolpalestine.com/statements/…

“FROM NEW YORK TO GAZA, GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA!” Zohran Mamdani stands silently as protesters chant the very slogan he once defended against attempts to equate it with antisemitism. During his mayoral campaign, Mamdani initially contextualized the Arabic word intifada, pointing out that even the US Holocaust Memorial Museum had used it in Arabic to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising against the Nazis. I gave him credit for challenging the idea that Palestinian resistance could be reduced to the most violent interpretation of a single word. But after sustained backlash, Mamdani reversed course, publicly pledging to discourage the slogan’s use. He explained that decision by citing Jewish New Yorkers who understood it as invoking violence against Jews. Tonight’s chant brings that campaign controversy back into the open. For protesters who understand intifada as uprising against oppression, the dispute was never simply about vocabulary. It was about whose understanding of Palestinian resistance would be recognized in New York’s political discourse. Video via @WOLPalestine

“DISCLOSE, DIVEST! WE WILL NOT STOP! WE WILL NOT REST!” Students chant directly at Zohran Mamdani as he attends an October 7 vigil. Their demand is about more than statements of solidarity with Palestine. NYC’s public pension funds hold investments in companies tied to Israel’s military industry, including Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. Students are demanding transparency about where public money is invested, divestment from companies implicated in Israel’s occupation and military operations, and concrete action from City Hall. The chant is directed at Mamdani because these are demands on the city government he now leads, not simply on his personal views about Palestine which amount to nothing if they don’t translate to action.

I only shared this fundraiser once or twice months ago because I don’t like asking for money, even though none of it goes to me. I’m suing Ross Glick, Betar USA and other leadership over a years-long campaign of stalking, threats and harassment targeting me as part of their broader attacks on Palestinians and the Palestine movement. Every dollar raised goes toward this legal fight and holding these Zionist harassers accountable. And I realize now that I need to keep sharing it, because these threats are not abstract. Shortly after I filed this lawsuit, authorities arrested a man accused of surveilling my home and plotting to firebomb it. For years, Palestinians and those who organize for Palestine have been stalked, threatened and harassed with the expectation that there will be no consequences. This lawsuit is one way to challenge that impunity. If you can contribute, please do. If you can’t, please share. chuffed.org/project/171422-p…
