When: Thursday, February 8th at 12:30 PM
Where: On the steps of City Hall
Who: Members of the City Council’s Common Sense Caucus, including Minority Leader Joseph Borelli, Joann Ariola, Robert Holden, David Carr, Vickie Paladino, Inna Vernikov, Kalman Yeger, Kristy Marmorato and Susan Zhuang; Bravest for Choice, Teachers for Choice, and other fired NYC workers.
Additional info:
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.
I'm a bit annoyed that none of these cases set a precedent to stop future bullshit mandates.
How many times does this need to happen before they are properly stopped from violating title 7 of the civil rights act?
Even if the shots were 100% safe, one is not allowed to mandate a shot. Jacobson resulted in a fine, not action or blocking from society. Why do these judges not know this?
They are professional managerial class who memorized for their law degrees only to forget the basics.
Also, why do localities and companies have the right to not only mandate shots, but violate contracts?
Perhaps because con-vid was done on emergency powers?
