In a recent development, Phil Wong, the Democratic candidate for the 30th district city council member, has received an endorsement from the “Parents Against Antisemitism” organization. This organization is dedicated to protecting Jewish students and families in response to the rising incidents of antisemitism in New York City.
Wong expressed his honor in receiving the endorsement from “Parents Against Antisemitism.” He emphasized the increasing threat of antisemitism and the importance of not allowing it to become normalized. Wong stressed the need to eradicate all forms of hate and prejudice, especially as attacks on Jewish neighbors continue to escalate. He pledged to stand alongside the Jewish community to ensure the safety of everyone in our communities and schools.
The endorsement recognized Wong’s consistent advocacy for parental rights, school safety, and his stance against antisemitism. According to Wong, his candidacy for city council is driven by his commitment to restoring public safety, improving education, and ensuring that the voices of parents and working-class families are heard in the city hall.
In addition to the endorsement from “Parents Against Antisemitism,” Wong has also received support from various groups and individuals including City Council Member Robert Holden, the NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees, PLACE (Parents Leadership in Accelerating and Cultivating Excellence), Asian American Alliance, Teachers for Choice, Bravest for Choice, Strongest for Choice, NYC Workers for Choice, Cops 4 Freedom, and George Garvey – the lead plaintiff in the landmark case “Garvey vs. City of New York.”
Phil Wong’s campaign is gaining momentum as he garners support from a diverse range of organizations and individuals, all united in their commitment to combating antisemitism, ensuring community safety, and advocating for the rights of parents and working-class families. With a strong network of endorsements backing his platform, Wong is poised to make a positive impact in the city council and work towards a more inclusive and secure environment for all residents of New York City.
