Yalla Brooklyn – New Political Group
Update: By 2021, Yalla was non-existent in Bay Ridge. The last we heard from Yalla was that they were going to have a Martin Luther King march rescheduled to the Spring…..but that never happened.
It was a group that was formed to push El Yateem, but after he lost the group was no longer active in Bay Ridge. We saw the Republicans do the same thing by creating “a group” before an election.
A new political group has organized in Bay Ridge called Yalla Brooklyn. (Let’s go Brooklyn). They are now on Twitter.
The Arabic word Yallah (how I know it to be written) comes from two words Ya (means O) and Allah (God)…it’s used in prayers like Ya Allah (O God).
Yallah also means let’s go or hurry up – which is what it seems to mean here such as Hurry up and Vote, Get involved and Participate…..Brooklyn. Almost to imply – Yalla Vote and make a difference!
Khader El-Yateem is heading the group and it appears to take place at the Salem Arabic Lutheran Church at 414-80th Street in Brooklyn. We’ve also seen the group organize in March.
These activists are Socialists.
