A coalition of anti-Zionist activist groups has announced plans for a "citywide protest" in New York City on October 7, marking the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. The rally is scheduled to begin at City Hall, though it remains unclear if the city has officially sanctioned the event at that location. The organizers state that 25 activist organizations, including Students for Justice in Palestine, Within Our Lifetime, and Pal-Avd, along with several student associations, are supporting the protest. Promotional materials feature the slogan "Glory to the martyrs, victory to the resistance" and imagery associated with Hamas. The organizers frame October 7 as the start of "resistance to imperialism," asserting that it marked a shift in the global order. Additionally, some anti-Zionist groups within New York's schools and universities have declared strikes for October 7. The activists have also criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of abandoning his political stances, specifically condemning the police response to protests near synagogues and the administration's new anti-Semitism strategy.
