As the mayoral administration transitions, NYC Educators for Palestine asks the incoming administration to consider and respond to the following experiences and demands.
As we head into the new year, Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues, and the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank persists. These realities underscore the urgency of ensuring that NYC Public Schools are led by leadership committed to truth, justice, and the protection of educators’ and students’ rights to teach, learn, and speak freely in pursuit of a more just future.

Re: Vandalism in a Room Used for Prayer by the Muslim Community - Investigation Underway
Late yesterday afternoon, the University was alerted that a prayer room used by NYU's Muslim community was vandalized.
I am sure we all share a sense of shock and revulsion at this desecration of a religious space.
This vandalism is hateful and repugnant, and completely at odds with our inclusive campus community. NYU has a zero tolerance approach to it and condemns it.
The University's Campus Safety Department is investigating, and we have involved law enforcement, including the City's Hate Crimes Task Force. I urge anyone who has any information about this violation to come forward and assist the investigation; you can reach out to Campus Safety by calling 212.998.2222.
