February 8, 2024 marks the one year anniversary that Kane v. de Blasio and all associated federal cases remain sitting in the 2nd Circuit of Appeals with no decision rendered. These cases are calling for fired unvaccinated workers in NYC to be rehired with backpay.
Thanks to our friends in the Common Sense Caucus we will rally on this solemn anniversary calling for legislation supported by lawmakers in City Hall and in Albany to bring back unvaccinated workers with backpay and seniority!
Feel free to bring signs, but no inappropriate language or messages. We look forward to seeing everyone on February 8 on the City Hall Steps, 12 noon, 250 Broadway, Manhattan.

ABOUT THE LAWSUITS: There are 3 federal cases currently in front of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals dealing with workers fired and banned from their jobs for being unvaccinated. Those cases are Kane v. de Blasio, Keil v. City of New York, and New Yorkers for Religious Liberty (NYFRL) v. City of New York.
Kane & Keil represent teachers and educators, and NYFRL represents all unvaccinated workers in NYC. These cases have been in the courts for over 2 years with some minor victories, but never obtaining the ultimate justice that is deserved. We continue to wait and see what the decision will be from the justices, and hope it will be a good ruling. If it is not a ruling in our favor, the case is likely to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States.
The legal system is complete garbage because it runs so slow when it comes to critical things like civil rights but runs quick when it comes to helping the crooked who use it as their tool (copyright law, patents etc)
Thanks for your work. Making plans is really important at this time. Regardless of results.
