QJCC

🚨 Breaking: The NYC Council voted to pass the synagogue protection bill with a veto-proof majority of 44 of 51 members. The bill to create a buffer zone for protests outside educational centers also passed, but only by a 30–19 margin — Mamdani could veto it if he chooses.

Antisemitic hate crimes made up 57% of all reported hate crimes in NYC last year, but Jews make up only about 10% of NYC. @SpeakerMenin's leg. package is so needed to help ensure safe access to synagogues/houses of worship/schools while protecting the right to peaceful protest.

My testimony before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights today: Civil-rights law isn’t an academic exercise. It exists to protect real people facing real harms. Don’t let abstraction become a distraction, and don't let anyone launder discrimination through "political" labels.

Thanks to @QJCCTweets for working to build a more inclusive NY. I joined their legislative breakfast today. At a time when there is great need in neighborhoods across Queens, QJCC’s leadership and advocacy are essential. Their efforts to combat the rise in antisemitism are helping to make a safer, more caring New York.

Like very few others can, @MarkLevineNYC addressed a standing room only crowd at the annual @QJCCTweets legislative breakfast, flipping seamlessly from one language to another and highlighting the work his office has done. #TringualAndProud

Honored to join my colleagues at the @QJCCTweets Legislative Breakfast this morning to support the organization’s tireless advocacy on behalf of Queens, especially their leadership combating antisemitism at a time when we are, unfortunately, seeing hate incidents rise across NYC.

With over 50 years of service, @QJCCTweets is a critical org for those in need, throughout Queens and beyond, whether it is battling food insecurity, providing social services programs, or fighting antisemitism. That is why it was so important for #TeamLynn to join their annual Legislative Breakfast yesterday. And, despite the frigid temperatures outside, the event was packed and the warmth inside was amazing.

It was an honor to meet @TishJames who took time to listen to the issues of antisemitism in @NYCSchools , @JulieMenin our wonderful speaker of the city council, @NYCComptroller, and @CMSandraUng . Such wonderful elected officials supporting all communities!

The Queens Jewish Community Council does incredible work advocating for our Jewish community and providing social services to New Yorkers of all backgrounds. Grateful for the warm welcome yesterday at their Legislative Breakfast with my @NYCCouncil colleagues and other leaders.

Friends indeed for the QJCC @qjcctweets bit.ly/4r75WHJ

I attended @QJCCTweets's breakfast with many of my colleagues to celebrate 50+ years of service. They're combatting food insecurity, providing social services programs, and confronting antisemitism. Their services are appreciated all throughout Queens. I was grateful to witness the strong support my peers continue to show for the Jewish community.

Yesterday, I joined colleagues at the @QJCCTweets Legislative Breakfast to celebrate 56 years of impactful service! QJCC continues to uplift our neighborhoods in Queens by combating antisemitism while also providing necessary resources & programming to enrich our communities!

Investing in Israeli bonds is smart & NYS is the leader in purchasing them….We will not support a company that engages in BDS… challenging times & I stand ready as a partner with the Jewish community - @TomDiNapoli @ the QJCC legislative breakfast

It’s not enough to say “never again” — we must live it. That’s why we’re building a new Holocaust Memorial in Queens — a place to remember the 6 million Jews murdered, honor the survivors who rebuilt their lives in NYC, and ensure future generations never forget.
