NYC Press Conference and rally: Healthcare Workers and Allies Unite for Gaza

Join us on January 6th

As part of the National day of calling out sick from genocide, we are calling on all New Yorkers—especially healthcare workers and medics—to join a press conference, mobilize and demand an end to the genocide in Gaza and bring accountability for the destruction of its healthcare system.

When:
• Press Conference: 2 PM
• Protest: 3 PM
Where: NYU Tisch Hospital 550 1st avenue, Manhattan, New York

This action will honor the courage and legacy of Dr. Hussam Abu Sufiya and all healthcare workers in Gaza who have been targeted, abducted and tortured.

Together, we will demand:

• Release Dr Abu Safiya and his colleagues .
An immediate end to genocide in Gaza.
• Protection for all hospitals, healthcare workers, and patients.
• Holding the perpetrators accountable

Key Details:
• Signs and Flags: Please bring only signs uplifting the messaging of this action and Palestinian flags. Rally around the core demand for an end to the genocide and the protection of healthcare as a human right.
• Healthcare Workers: Come in your work attire—scrubs, white coats, and uniforms—to show solidarity with Gaza’s medical workers.
• Medics: Bring your kits and join us to represent the urgent need for healthcare and protection of medical services.

Let us gather in unity and focus to make our voices heard. The press conference at 2 PM will amplify the call for justice, and the protest at 3 PM will make it clear that we will not stand by as the genocide on Gaza continues.

Together, we resist. Together, we unite to protect the sanctity of life. Together we fight to end the genocide.
