Jewish, Muslim groups join together to protest Golden
Demonstrators demand lawmaker fire staffer after Proud Boys incident
In a show of religious solidarity, members of left-leaning Jewish and Muslim organizations joined together to hold a protest demonstration on the sidewalk outside state Sen. Marty Golden’s Bay Ridge district office Friday morning to call on the Republican lawmaker to fire a controversial campaign staffer who had invited the leader of the alt-right group Proud Boys to speak at a GOP club last month.
The protesters also called on Golden to condemn white nationalism.
The demonstration was organized by three groups: Yalla Brooklyn, the Muslim Democratic Club of New York and The Jewish Vote. Members of the group Fight Back Bay Ridge also took part in the protest in a show of support.
