New York students set to walk out of schools in demand of immediate ceasefire

Students across all five boroughs of New York City are set to walk out of school this afternoon in demand of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

“The [Department of Education] is complicit in genocide! They continue to censor not only students, but teachers as well," Lina Abdullah, a student in New York City, said in a statement provided to MEE.

"It’s time for America to be on the right side of history."

After walking out of school at 3pm, the students, along with educators and other demonstrators, will gather in Bryant Park for a rally.
