September 20, 2024 – Together with the Hostage Family Forum, UJA-Federation of NY, elected officials, and many community partners, JCRC-NY stood in solidarity at Dag Hammerskjold Plaza with families of hostages and supporters to speak and declare with one voice: BRING THEM HOME NOW!
We met on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly where world leaders will soon gather and deliver remarks. Leaders will ultimately be judged NOT by speeches—but by their ability to swiftly bring home every hostage, achieve an end to this conflict, including permanently disarming Hamas, and securing lasting peace in the region for all children, families, and seniors. Over 100 hostages are still kept in captivity almost a year since Oct 7. We are not whole until we are all home.
