On April 6th at noon, a group gathered at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn to protest the killing of children in Gaza. They joined the Jewish Elders & Friends for Ceasefire, a part of Jewish Voice for Peace. The focus was on urging Senator Schumer to cease arming genocide with the tagline “We demand action, not empty words.” The route went through the farmer’s market to highlight the famine’s impact on Palestinian children. Plans to march to Senator Schumer’s home were thwarted by police barricades and the Strategic Response Group of the NYPD. Protesters carried signs and effigies representing the 14,000 children killed in Gaza bombings. After placing the effigies on the ground, the protest concluded with the reading of a fraction of children’s names and ages, followed by prayer.
