New York Workers Circle School Passover Seder and Open House

Please join us for a secular seder that is interactive and joyful but also pauses for reflection. We will be both silly and serious, improvising skits on the ten plagues, hiding afikomen, and singing in Yiddish, while also considering what it means to see the liberation of the Jewish people as interconnected to the liberation of all peoples.

ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action

On Wednesday, January 7th, an American citizen, Renee Nicole Good, was killed by ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.

The Workers Circle is joining with a broad coalition of groups across the country for a coordinated ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action on Saturday, January 10th, and Sunday, January 11th, to demand accountability, honor the life lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions.

Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round: Film Screening and Workers Circle Q&A

Five Black students rode a segregated carousel in 1960, igniting one of the earliest organized interracial civil rights protest in US history. Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round is the untold story of the Jews they marched with, the Nazis they provoked, the Congressmen they inspired, and Civil Rights leaders they became. The Workers Circle plays an important role in this award-winning film. Join us at the IFC Center for a screening to be followed with a Q/A featuring filmmaker Ilana Tractman, Workers Circle CEO Ann Toback, and activist Rev. Mark A. Thompson, moderated by justice advocate Joan Grangenois-Thomas.
