March Against Anti-Semitism in Brooklyn 1/2/22
Update: See the rally here.
On Sunday, January 2nd, Councilmember Inna Vernikov is holding a March on 86th Street and Bay Parkway at 12:00 pm. She organized this because of the incident at hate earlier this week on 86th Street in Bay Ridge.
The march is happening because of the awful incident that happened to two Jewish college students outside of Footlocker in Bay Ridge on December 26th (See here)
Originally the march was outside Footlocker on 86th Street in Bay Ridge (old flyer below). Councilman Brannan and Senator Gounardes should have backed her up. The reason for the march is to say people belong here. Moving the location, says they don’t.
Councilmember Vernikov’s district includes: includes Brighton Beach, Gravesend, Manhattan Beach and Midwood.
The NYPD did not mark this as a hate crime on Compstat.
Even though NYPD’s Hate Crime account on twitter shared this:
Update 12/30 : Fight Back Bay Ridge blamed the man for wearing the IDF sweatshirt. It’s very sad to see this as this is a diverse neighborhood and there is no reason for anyone to put their hands on anyone else.
Thankfully Brooklyn South Police’s message is a lot better:
And District Attorney, Eirc Gonzalez’ message is also correct:
