Buffalo NY chapter of https://t.co/itWFDq7fzB JVP Action is now doing business as JVP, as a 501c4. Our 501c3 work continues in JVP Lab.























On August 19, @RepTimKennedy was at a town hall in Niagara Falls NY. Former UN official @CraigMokhiber questioned him about the genocide in Gaza and Kennedy's recent AIPAC-backed trip to Israel. We did some fact- and tone-checking of Kennedy's response.

🍎 Protest Rocks NY Democratic Committee Annual Picnic Some 35 constituents, Palestinian rights advocates with Columbia County for Palestine (CC4P), disrupted Rep. Josh Riley’s speech at the Columbia County Democratic Committee (CCDC)’s annual picnic. They confronted him over his AIPAC-funded Israel trip and refusal to back the Block the Bombs Act, unfurling banners reading “Stop Starving Gaza,” “Stop Arming Israel,” and “Killing Babies Is Not Self-Defense.” After Riley’s speech was repeatedly interrupted, CCDC Chair Sam Hodge abruptly ended the event, canceling the closing address of State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli. DiNapoli—criticized for investing $352 million of NY pension funds in Israel Bonds—tried to make a hasty exit, but protesters followed him to his SUV and along the quarter-mile driveway, chanting against his complicity in genocide. Organizers said Democrats like Riley and DiNapoli “refuse to represent the people who elected them” while enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza. 📹 Video shared by CC4P
