Following Thursday night’s events in Kew Gardens, the Queens County Young Democrats condemn antisemitism, hate, and harmful rhetoric in all its forms and stand firmly with Jewish communities in Queens.

QCYD believes in the right to protest and stand up for human rights, as it is one of the many liberties granted and treasured by advocates and communities throughout our history. We also assert that such protests should be carried out with peace, safety, dignity, and respect for all.
