"The bill in question is one of two passed by the City Council last month that were championed by #Jewish #lawmakers and leaders who were unnerved by pro-#Palestinian #protests targeting #synagogues. A bill proposed by Speaker #JulieMenin that applies to protests outside #housesofworship passed with a #veto-proof supermajority, but a second bill that applies to protests near “#educationalfacilities” passed with enough “no” votes for #Mamdani to be able to strike it down.

Mamdani has indicated concerns about the legislation but not his plans about whether to sign it."
