If you’re at #JewishCurrentsLive, come stop by the JFREJ table to say hello or just say hi to another attendee because there’s a ~1/5 chance they will also be a JFREJ member.

More and more attention is (rightfully) aimed at confronting ICE & DHS’s in the streets. But, I really can’t emphasize how important it is for us to be also there to help people in the awful courts that anchor this entire system. @jfrejnyc.bsky.social has been at the forefront of this for a while.

@chiosse.bsky.social's bill would prohibit the NYPD's Strategic Response Group from being deployed at public actions protected by the 1st Amendment and for crowd control.

It has a majority of support among NYC Council members. The obstacle to its passage, as usual, is 🎯 Speaker Julie Menin 🎯

1995 ➡️ 2026 We’ve been protesting anti-immigrant state violence and organizing alongside our immigrant neighbors since before ICE even existed. We will not stop until we abolish ICE and end deportations.

Yesterday afternoon, ICE agents — who did not present a warrant, and who appear to have been disguised as construction workers — fired 7 shots into a car with a 5-year-old child, hitting Oscar Belgal in the neck.

Protesting in the streets with our neighbors tonight to say: END DEPORTATIONS ABOLISH ICE

Yesterday, ICE agents shot, wounded, and abducted Oscar Belgal. When the community gathered in solidarity, they were met with police violence. We say no more. ICE out of New York. Abolish ICE. End NYPD violence and complicity.

@jfrejnyc.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:07 PM

Get this man out of our city. Get ICE out of our city. Abolish abolish abolish.

We're making one-night-only limited edition swag. What is a cocktail party without crafts??

The 2026 Mazals have officially begun! Look at this gorgeous space and these goreous people ready to celebrate 36 years of JFREJ: home of the NY Jewish Left.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Kendall Francis is still waiting on accountability and justice. So are Cornell's Jane Doe and every Epstein survivor. Survivors have waited long enough. We show up 10/8 for the #StopSexualViolence Day of Action. Join us: womensmarch.com/stop #WeAreJaneDoe

ICE is now separating children from their parents in the nation’s interior and deeming them “unaccompanied.”

Let's keep up the fight for truly universal childcare with good wages for workers! Join us at our next (virtual) campaign meeting on Thursday, November 10:

@jfrejnyc.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 9:03 PM

Today, we celebrate this win for families and providers across NYC. Tomorrow, we continue fighting so all families across NYC and NYS can access universal childcare and that early childhood educators are paid with the thriving wages they need and deserve.

@jfrejnyc.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 9:03 PM

Families across our city depend on these childcare providers who time and again have been left behind by prior administrations, and we’re grateful that @mayor.nyc.gov listened.

This is a huge and crucial step toward truly universal childcare with good wages for workers.

@jfrejnyc.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 9:02 PM

This announcement is only possible because of tireless advocacy from our provider partners – including Providers Organized for Power, ECE on the Move, @aqeny.bsky.social & more, who have been sharing stories of below minimum wage pay, not being able to cover expenses & having to turn families away.

@jfrejnyc.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 9:00 PM

Today’s announcement ends months of stress and uncertainty for thousands of low-income families by delivering childcare access to those who need it most, and ensuring providers who serve these families – many of whom are home-based providers – can get the funds they need to keep their doors open.

@jfrejnyc.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 8:35 PM

Today, the Mamdani administration announced that 10,000 of the 26,000 children on the waitlist for the Child Care Assistance Program will receive vouchers for child care seats this year!

Ninety years ago yesterday, antifascist demonstrators routed Oswald Mosley and his supporters when they tried to terrorize the Jews of London’s East End. It’s an important anniversary in a year when a new far-right movement is gathering strength.
