MEDIA ALERT | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 13, 2024 Contacts: Howard Horowitz, Jewish Voice for Peace Westchester cell: 914.907.6323Alicia Singham Goodwin, JFREJ Political Director, [email protected] (347.391.7642) THURSDAY AFTERNOON: Westchester Residents Registered to Attend George Latimer’s “State of the County” Informed They Were No Longer Welcome WHO: Local Westchester Residents WHEN: Thursday, March 14 at 5:00 pm WHERE: 148 Martine Avenue, White Plains, NY WHAT: At least a dozen Westchester residents who had submitted an RSVP to attend George Latimer’s “State of the County” address were informed on Wednesday, March 13, the day before the event, that they were no longer welcome. Registered participants, some of whom had registered more than a month in advance, were told that they would not be able to attend the event as it was now “over capacity,” despite having previously received confirmation that they could attend. County residents who were denied entry seek clarity from Latimer’s office as to how the decision was made to exclude specific attendees. Latimer, the current Westchester County Executive, is running against incumbent Congressman Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary for NY CD-16, in a race defined by Latimer’s support for Israel’s ongoing assault on the besieged Gaza Strip, and controversy around AIPAC’s significant contributions to Latimer’s campaign. Separately, a coalition of local organizations are planning a “People’s State of the County” in protest of Latimer’s Speech.### ... See MoreSee Less

On International Day To Combat #Islamophobia, we signed onto a letter w/ @muslimadvocates, @MuslimsForJF, @lucyparsonslabs & 65 orgs to @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer demanding they stop scapegoating Palestine protesters & end mass surveillance in the U.S.🧵

.@JFREJNYC member Howard Horowitz spoke so powerfully today about why Westchester Jews for Racial & Economic Justice #RejectAIPAC & reject @LatimerforNY!

We're now gathered on the steps of the county office building to hold our own state of the county, while @LatimerforNY holds his inside and refused entry to these constituents. It’s the People’s State of the County! @BlkWestchesterM is livestreaming.

@LatimerforNY We want housing not more jails! Healthcare, not weapon sales!

@LatimerforNY has FAILED as county executive, and his decision now to align with insurrectionist-supporting AIPAC is further proof of how out-of-touch he is with New Yorkers’s priorities. #RejectAIPAC

An interfaith coalition of Westchester constituents are rallying in protest of AIPAC-backed @LatimerforNY, who is about to deliver his State of the County address. Many of these people got tix to the event, only to have them canceled yesterday with no explanation. #RejectAIPAC

Westchester Jews are out and about in White Plains today to tell county exec @LatimerforNY they #RejectAIPAC, reject his record, and reject his AIPAC-backed campaign for Congress!
