“All out on April 20th – Genocide profiteers out of our neighborhoods!! Mini-Circuits, headquartered in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, manufactures crucial components for the THAAD and Patriot missiles, key air defense systems used by the United States and “israel”. Iranian retaliatory missile strikes have depleted Patriot and THAAD stocks, which will take years to replenish, placing significant pressure on the defense pipeline in the US. Mini-circuits is a key cog in this pipeline.

Zionist Consulate. E. 42nd & 2nd Ave.

“Join the Global Day of Action to Defend Our Prisoners and Resist the Executions.

Our prisoners are the compass of our struggle, and the key to the liberation of Palestine.

Over 10,000 of our prisoners are held by the zionist entity, subjected to systematic starvation, brutal assault, and relentless torture.

Since October 7, their conditions have drastically worsened, with at least 89 Palestinian prisoners ascending to martyrdom. The situation will only further escalate following the passage of the law authorizing the execution of prisoners.

Join us in taking to the streets to demand an end to the ongoing aggression against all our people—from Gaza to Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq—and the liberation of every single prisoner in the dungeons of the zionist entity.

Palestinian Prisoners Day

Update: Click here for info about the protest on April 18, 2026.

Saturday, April 18, 2026. 2 PM.
Times Square
Manhattan, New York City.

“There are over 10,000 Palestinian prisoners currently being held in Israeli torture prisons , including over 400 children. All are held under the military court system, run exclusively by IOF ( Israeli Occupation Forces) soldiers, with a staggering 96% conviction rate. According to several human rights organizations, torture, rape, starvation, and dehumanization are systemic and rampant throughout. The conditions in these Israeli torture camps is well documented and has been ongoing since the zionist occupation in 1948. Over 100 Palestinian prisoners have died in custody within the last 2 years.

On March 30, 2026, executing Palestinian (and only Palestinian) prisoners became official policy in Israel. Execution by hanging is the sentence, and once convicted as a “terrorist”, it must be carried out within 90 days, with no possibility of appeal or pardon. This is yet another example of Israel’s murderous and genocidal depravity.

Join us on Saturday, April 18th, Palestinian Prisoners Day, to demand the immediate release of ALL Palestinian prisoners and an end to the new draconian Israeli execution law.”_Palestinian Assembly for Liberation [PAL]-Awda LI Chapter.

NYC: PALESTINIAN PRISONERS’ DAY MARCH

Update: Click here for info about the protest on April 18, 2026.

Saturday, April 18, 2026. 4:30 PM.
Herald Square
Manhattan, New York City.

“Since 1974, Palestinians have chosen April 17th to commemorate our prisoners and their struggle. Our prisoners are the compass of our movement. On Prisoners Day, we march to honor those enduring the cruelty of the colonial Zionist entity, whose tireless courage and steadfastness remind us that Zionist prisons cannot contain the fight for their freedom or the national liberation of Palestine.

More than a week ago, on March 30, the Israeli Knesset passed the “Prisoner Execution Law,” legalizing death by hanging, a measure that, in practice, would target only Palestinians. This bill comes amid the settler-colonial Zionist entity’s ongoing efforts to dispossess Palestinians from their land and escalate their barbaric assaults, from the genocide in Gaza to the relentless attacks on our prisoners.

Routinely, Palestinian prisoners in Zionist dungeons confront systematic abuse, including torture, starvation, and medical neglect. Thousands are held under administrative detention without charge or trial. These dungeons are sites of dehumanization, where the occupier seeks to break the will of the people and erase resistance through fear and punishment.

It is our duty to stand with our prisoners! Join us in the streets in New York City to assert the right for our prisoners to live free and dignified.

May every prisoner be free and may the Zionist jails crumble.”_New York City Chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement.

Wednesday, April 8, 2026. 6 PM.
Times Square
Manhattan, New York City.

“This morning Trump said “A whole civilization will die tonight.” This is the criminal threat of a madman — but a madman who controls the deadly might of the Pentagon war machine. Trump has given a deadline for mass destruction — open the Strait of Hormuz by 8pm ET or “every bridge and power plant in Iran will be decimated.”

This illegal and unprovoked war on Iran, and Israel’s parallel campaign of extermination against Lebanon and Palestine, has already claimed thousands of Iranian lives and forcibly displaced over 1 million Lebanese people.

People in the United States need to take a stand and say — NO MORE ENDLESS wars

Take to the streets tomorrow night in the heart of New York City. Join us at Times Square at 6pm to protest Trump’s assault on the Iranian people and demand an end to the war NOW.

Money for people’s needs — not massacres in Iran!”_The People’s Forum

“The Zionist entity has passed legislation termed the “Prisoner Execution Law” in an unprecedented escalation of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

“La entidad sionista ha aprobado una legislación denominada “Ley de Ejecución de Prisioneros”, en lo que constituye una escalada sin precedentes del genocidio en curso contra el pueblo palestino. La “Ley de Ejecución de Prisioneros” legaliza el asesinato de prisioneros palestinos por parte de la ocupación; prisioneros que ya enfrentan brutales torturas, inanición y muerte tras las rejas a manos del régimen colonial sionista.

FLOOD BNYDC BOARD MEETING. SHUT DOWN CRYE PRECISION. GENOCIDE AND ICE SUPPLIERS OUT OF NYC.

WED. APRIL 1, 2026.
9:00AM – 12:00PM
141 Flushing Avenue (Building 77).
Brooklyn, New York City.

“Join DBNY on Wednesday, April 1, from 9AM-12PM as we FLOOD BUILDING 77 and DISRUPT the BNYDC Board Meeting.

As the BNY Board meets again—thinking only about their profits and reputations—Palestinians, Iranians, immigrants, and Black & Brown New Yorkers are still being slaughtered and surveilled with Crye Precision gear made RIGHT HERE in the Navy Yard. From the ICE agents terrorizing immigrant communities to the “israeli” soldiers bombing Palestinians to the U.S. military squads that kidnapped Maduro, Crye Precision supplies death and terror across the world. And as US-israeli imperialism grows increasingly desperate and bloodthirsty—threatening Cuba, Venezuela, Lebanon, Yemen, and all people resisting empire—Crye Precision and the Brooklyn Navy Yard will continue to profit shamelessly from it until they are FORCED to stop.

In the imperial core, next to the factories of death, we MUST resist and disrupt the imperialist war machine by targeting its supply chain. Our victory against Easy Aerial proves that we have the power to SHUT DOWN CRYE PRECISION. But it requires that we show up, escalate, build our momentum, and allow NO PEACE FOR GENOCIDE SUPPLIERS.

If you’re tired of symbolic actions and appeals to power, and want to materially disrupt the networks funding and supplying genocide: Join us on April 1 as we FLOOD BUILDING 77, the Navy Yard’s main financial hub. Bring as many friends, family members, and trusted comrades as you can! Together, we will force BNY to evict Crye Precision and permanently stop profiting from genocide, deportation, and war.”_DEMILITARIZE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD!
