Protesters demand action on Gaza at Schumer and Gillibrand’s offices; arrests follow.
An estimated 200 protesters showed up at the New York offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand this afternoon to demand the Senators « Let Gaza live. » They chanted slogans and eventually a number of them were arrested, including some state elected officials.
Anti-Israel New York City Councilwoman Tiffany Caban was arrested along with several other protesters as scores of screaming demonstrators descended on the Manhattan offices of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Friday, sources told The Post.
Caban joined roughly 200 pro-Palestinian activists from Jewish Voices for Peace who began occupying the Midtown office building at around 12:20 p.m., donning T-shirts with “let Gaza live” emblazoned across them.
Several protesters could be seen being zip tied and led away as NYPD cops forced them out of the building, footage shot by Fox News showed.
Here’s what the protest sounded like:
