11am-Noon - Jewish meetup before the big rally. All are welcome to join us to share in some Shabbat traditions, songs, and prayer (led by Rabbis For Ceasefire), and to get ourselves grounded in why Jews have a special interest and mandate to fight for democracy and against fascism. We'll distribute signs & water, and all head together in a powerful formation to join the larger rally.

In the face of the devastating election results, it is now up to us—Jews, Muslims, immigrants, parents, working class people, women, and queer folks—to protect our futures.
Donald Trump made racism, transphobia, misogyny, and xenophobia the centerpiece of his campaign. We are clear-eyed about the danger posed by a second Trump administration, and we are ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to fight back against his dangerous policies. New York has a crucial role to play in setting the tone for the next four years. It is critical to make it clear that New Yorkers will continue to stand together, in community, to protect the most vulnerable.
That’s why, along with dozens of leading allied organizations in New York, we are taking the streets this Saturday, November 9th for a mass rally and march at Columbus Circle to say loud and clear: PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS, OUR FAMILIES, OUR FUTURES.

JFREJ does not typically organize events on Shabbat, but we are participating in this action and holding space for some Jewish ritual beforehand. If your Shabbat practice allows, we would love to see you out in the streets.
