“In the imperial core, next to the factories of death, we MUST resist and disrupt the imperialist war machine by targeting its supply chain. We cannot rely on politicians to keep us safe.

But it requires that everyone consistently escalate and organize, and allow NO PEACE FOR GENOCIDE & DEPORTATION SUPPLIERS.
If you’re tired of symbolic mobilizations and empty promises from politicians, and want to materially disrupt the supply chain of the u.s. zionist death machine, join us as we picket and disrupt business as usual at Building 77, the Navy Yard’s main financial hub. Bring as many friends, family members, and trusted comrades as you can! It is the duty of all New Yorkers to unite to force BNY to evict Crye Precision and all genocide, deportation, and war profiteers.

Monday, August 31, 2026.
100 Centre St. Manhattan, New York City.
“Yesterday, Jakhi returned to state court for a pre-trial hearing, where it was revealed that 1) The court had mistakenly confused “22nd of July” with “27th of July” in their schedule and was not prepared to rule on motions from Jakhi’s defense and 2) The prosecution had brought in new discovery and seven more witnesses–violating legal rules stating that additions to witnesses/discovery must be reported in advance by at least two weeks.
Because of this, Jakhi’s trial date has been pushed back a month to the week of August 31st. This date is not expected to change again; court support and all programming is postponed until then. Thank you!”__Jakhi Solidarity. July 23, 2026.

DBNY Picket + Noise Demo. Shut Down Crye Precision Now!
Wednesday, August 5, 2026. 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM.
141 Flushing Ave. Building 77.
Manhattan, New York City.
“DBNY is commemorating Black August with our anti-imperialist Week of Rage. Black August is a time to commit ourselves to the struggle for Black liberation, a month of studying, training, fasting, and fighting. We see the similarities between the Black struggle for self-determination and the Palestinian struggle for liberation. We know that the same tools and tactics of oppression are tested out on one community and used against the other, whether it’s drone surveillance or deed theft. DBNY stands in solidarity with all anti-imperialist struggles.
As the u.s. empire escalates its imperial aggression in Cuba, Iran, and here on Turtle Island, the Brooklyn Navy Yard continues to house Crye Precision, which manufactures uniforms and tactical gear for ICE, the IOF, and the u.s. military. Despite claiming to be a “sanctuary city,” the City of New York, including the mayor, have remained SILENT about Crye Precision supplying ICE on tax-subsidized public land at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
In the imperial core, next to the factories of death, we MUST resist and disrupt the imperialist war machine by targeting its supply chain. We cannot rely on politicians to keep us safe. Our victory against Easy Aerial proves that we have the power to SHUT DOWN CRYE PRECISION. But it requires that everyone consistently escalate and organize, and allow NO PEACE FOR GENOCIDE SUPPLIERS.
If you’re tired of symbolic mobilizations and empty promises from politicians, and want to materially disrupt the supply chain of the u.s. zionist death machine, join us as we picket and disrupt business as usual at Building 77, the Navy Yard’s main financial hub. Bring as many friends, family members, and trusted comrades as you can!

This is the second reported death at Delaney Hall in less than a year, the first being Jean Wilson Brutus, whose family is still fighting for answers and accountability.
At least 50 people have died in ICE detention centers since the start of Trump’s second term. ICE arrests have increased to record highs and ICE is ramping up operations across NYC. We need to keep the pressure on and continue the fight to secure justice for Edwin and all of ICE’s victims and to stop ICE and mass detentions for good!” said ICE out of NY on August 4, 2026.
RALLY FOR ANAS AL-SHARIF AND THE JOURNALISTS OF GAZA
Monday, August 10, 2026. 5 PM.
The New York Times.
620 8th Ave, Manhattan, New York City.
“Monday, August 10th marks one year since Israel’s deliberate killing of Journalists Anas Al-Sharif, alongside his colleagues Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, Momen Aliwa, and Mohammed al-Khalidi.
Israel’s targeting of journalists is an intentional policy to suppress coverage of its war crimes. Mainstream media outlets like the New York Times have actively enabled this policy, manufacturing consent for this genocide from the beginning.
Anas left us with a final message and a charge, “I entrust you with Palestine…be bridges toward the liberation of its land and its people”. Join us Monday August 10th to carry Anas’ call forward and denounce western media for their role in his assasination,” said the New York City Chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement on July 31, 2026.
Rally against Mini-Circuits
Friday, August 14, 2026. 3pm
13 NEPTUNE AVE.

We will not stand by while corporations in our neighborhoods make profits off the blood of our martyrs. We call on everyone to join us in demanding that Mini-Circuits cuts all their military contracts. Join us on Friday!” said Pal-Awda NY on August 10, 2026.

August 14, 2026. 6:30PM
Riverside Church (490 Riverside Dr).
Manhattan, New York City.
REGISTER: bit.ly/keeping-record
“On August 14, Writers Against the War on Gaza, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and the Palestinian Feminist Collective will honor the life and struggle of Anas al-Sharif, to mourn his martyrdom and that of his colleagues, and to understand explicitly how it is that mainstream western media enabled their deaths to occur unabated.
Beginning before the onset of the genocide, we will hear from Anas’s colleagues, mentors, and friends, across all sectors and ages to learn how Gaza’s journalists grew and transformed as the genocide accelerated.
Central to this event will be the launch of Writers Against the War On Gaza’s “The Living Record,” an oral archive composed of more than 50 eulogies delivered by journalists across the Gaza Strip. These eulogies document the ever-growing loss that Gaza’s journalists and reporters have had to endure, and, more importantly, why it is they have continued onwards.
This event culminates the Palestinian Youth Movement’s Week of Action which will began at the anniversary of Anas al-Sharif’s martyrdom on August 10.”_New York City Chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement. July 29, 2026.

Saturday, August 15, 2026. 4PM
Times Square.
Manhattan, New York City.
“NEW YORK CITY – Join us on August 15 to rally against US militarism and imperialism!
August 15th marks 81 years since the end of Japanese colonialism and the beginning of the US
occupation of Korea, which has threatened the sovereignty and livelihood of people across the Pacific.
Every year around the same time as National Liberation day, US and South Korea participate in a massive series of joint war drills known as Ulchi Freedom Shield. Ulchi Freedom Shield is a part of a series of U.S. imperialist aggression in the region, including the Balikatan in the Philippines and RIMPAC in Hawaii.
This year, Nodutdol will rally in solidarity with organizers in Korea and across the US to demand an end to the investment in war as people everywhere continue to struggle with housing, healthcare, job security, getting access to clean food and water, and more.
Our event will include a pungmul performance, speeches contextualizing the impact of US military occupation in Korea and beyond, a solidarity statement from organizers in Korea, and brand new demonstration art you won’t want to miss. We hope to see you there!
U.S. OUT OF KOREA! STOP THE PACIFIC WAR!” said Nodutdol on August 7, 2026.
