New York, April 19 (RHC)-- In New York City, members of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, their allies, and elected leaders gathered for the group’s annual “Seder in the Streets” on the sixth night of Passover. 

The protest took place under the banner of “No fascists, no pharaohs.” 

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who’s been endorsed by JFREJ’s Electoral Arm The Jewish Vote, spoke at the event.  He said: “And we know that in this moment in this city, when one in four New Yorkers is living in poverty, when 500,000 children go to sleep hungry every night, when more than 90% of New Yorkers agree that affordability is a serious issue, that this freedom is not just a right to live with our families in homes, but to be able to afford that home, to afford that dinner that we can share together as we break that bread.”
