Fyi Jesse was clearly at a different constituent event tonight in fact he’s at public events almost every night. This isn’t about him ignoring his constituents this is 100% purely about him not being liberal enough. They also are racist and can’t stand that a black man is on good terms with his Jewish community and that he dared balk at the democrat establishment.

Very troubling to see this hateful event in Crown Heights. Who are the organizers?

WE MUST PROTEST
July 27, 2017 4:49 pm

Location
Location is 17 Eastern Pkwy, Senator Rivera is arriving around 7pm. Let’s show him we do not want to hear his Anti-Israel rhetoric. Call his office at 518-455-3395.

A mensch wouldn’t announce the night before election day that he’s no longer running on the partyline he won on in the primary. A real mensch would have the chutzpah to show up.

Don't ignore,
July 27, 2017 4:30 pm

Stand up for yourself & community, demonstrate & protest!

BDS is a hate crime
July 27, 2017 4:18 pm

In Canada and other places in the world where people are understanding that anti zionist is anti semitic…..

We need to speak truth and speak up so the world understands

Jesse Hamilton gets things done
July 27, 2017 3:55 pm

I dont care who he aligns with. Go worry about your own problems Gustavo. We love Jesse

Please Change the Article Title

Senator Rivera is not coming to Brooklyn to speak about BDS. He is coming to speak about the Independent Democratic Conference, a group of eight Democrats who conference with the Republican party senate leader Flanagan.

I called his office
July 27, 2017 3:36 pm

And I will be there tonight to protest this antisemite

Jesse is a mensch

Senator Rivera Welcome
July 27, 2017 3:36 pm

Senator Rivera is free to come to Brooklyn and speak about the Independent Democratic Conference. Senator Hamilton declined to speak with his constituents. To the commenters above, why would Senator Rivera face arrest for coming to Brooklyn to speak about the IDC? These reactions to him coming to speak are undemocratic and alarmist. And above all else, Senator Hamilton needs to speak with his constituents.

Senator Hamilton Should Speak to Constituents
July 27, 2017 3:23 pm

Senator Rivera is coming because Senator Hamilton will not come to a townhall to discuss joining the IDC with his constituents. Senator Hamilton needs to come and meet with his constituents from Crown Heights, Sunset Park, Bronwsville, and Park Slope face to face.

CALL THE MAYORS OFFICE

Go back to the Bronx never heard of this man, Go back to the Bronx

Jesse is a dear
July 27, 2017 10:49 am

Called the clown Rivera and told him to worry about his own neighborhood.

RABBI MEIR KAHANE
July 27, 2017 10:39 am

DONE!
I just phoned his office and advised his presence will not be welcome in Crown Heights for all the above reasons.
We should demonstrate in our thousands at the Town Hall tonight. Jewish Students and scholars in Universities across America are being targeted by Arab student blocs and rabid anti senites supporting the BDS movement and this PRO ARAB miserable excuse for a Senator, GUSTAVO RIVERA, is against legislation that outlaws the BDS movement!!
WE MUST SUPPORT OUR FRIENDS OF ISRAEL SENATORS JEFF KLEIN AND JESSE HAMILTON

Just call that number?
July 27, 2017 10:11 am

I don’t understand exactly what to say as an effective & proper response!
