More than five years ago, the NYPD murdered Ramarley Graham, a Black unarmed teenager, and brutalized his family in their own home. NYPD officers later reported- in continuing their criminalization of communities of color through broken windows policing- that they had initially trailed Ramarley for "walking with a purpose."  On Tuesday, April 4th, Jews for Racial & Economic Justice will stand with Ramarley's family, other families of those killed by the police, the Justice Committee and Black Lives Matter-NY to commemorate the death of Martin Luther King Jr. by demanding that the Mayor and the NYPD commissioner fire all of the officers involved in Ramarley's killing. 

Location: 
Grand Central Terminal at Grand Atrium through the entrance on 42nd Street between Vanderbilt and Park Ave.

Join Color of Change and the Center for Media Justice for a unique virtual town hall event to assess the threat of White House executive orders on immigration and policing, discuss strategies to resist racially-biased police surveillance, and re-imagine sanctuary for all in a Trump era. Under Trump, law enforcement agencies have been given free reign to criminalize and pursue immigrants and people of color.  Resistance to these attacks must be lead by the communities that are most heavily policed under this administration: Black, immigrant, and Arab and Muslim communities.

How is the Jewish community effectively showing up for our partners in directly impacted communities, as well as Mizrahi Jews and Jews of Color in our own community? How can we call on New York political leaders to stand up to the administration and create real sanctuary, real safety, and real justice for all New Yorkerss? Broken windows policing puts all of our communities at risk – there is no sanctuary without police accountability. Our community is called right now to be the #JewishResistance of our time.

Come learn about JFREJ’s approach to these questions, and help us mobilize our community for upcoming actions in April:
