Remove Mamdani

We will not be intimidated. Take back our streets.

On May 26, New Yorkers came together in powerful fashion to stand against antisemitism, extremism, and the dangerous rhetoric fueling hostility toward Jewish communities across our city. Activists, community leaders, faith leaders, students, and concerned citizens came to make one thing clear: we will not stay silent while Jewish New Yorkers are threatened, intimidated, or ignored.

This movement is not stopping here.

We are calling for accountability from New York City leaders whose rhetoric, conduct, and actions have contributed to the normalization of Jew-hatred, extremism, and hostility toward Jewish New Yorkers.

Why We Are Speaking Out

Zohran Mamdani has publicly engaged with Jewish communities and does not appear to personally hate Jews. His approach to Israel, Zionism, and anti-Israel activism has been deeply flawed and dangerous.

Words matter — especially from people in positions of power.

Freedom of speech is one of the core values of the United States, and every American has the right to criticize governments and political movements. But when public officials or political leaders repeatedly promote rhetoric that targets Zionism while dismissing the concerns of Jewish communities, the consequences can extend far beyond political debate.

For millions of Jews around the world, Zionism is not an abstract political idea — it is tied to Jewish identity, safety, and self-determination. Antizionism is a hate movement. It fuels antisemitism, normalizes hostility toward Jews, and contributes to a climate where Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe.

Silence is not an option.

Leaders must be held accountable for the environments they help create, the movements they amplify, and the standards they set for public discourse.
