Demand Winston and Strawn Rescind Job Offer to Anti-Semitic NYU SBA President Ryna Workman

The Issue

This petition is deeply personal. In the past week, we have witnessed horrific war crimes committed by the terrorist group Hamas against Israeli women, including rape, murder, mutilation, public humiliation, burning bodies, decapitating female children and desecration. These atrocities are not just acts of violence; they are a violation of human rights.

In an alarming development amidst this crisis, Ryna Workman - president of the NYU student bar association - who worked her summer associate position at Winston and Strawn has released a statement supporting these abuses by Hamas. She stated that "Israel bears full responsibility," thereby indirectly promoting these heinous acts.

This is not just about politics or international relations; it's about basic human decency. It's about standing up for victims of violence and abuse everywhere. We cannot stand by while someone in such a powerful position supports such atrocities.

We demand that Winston & Strawn rescind their full-time job offer to Ryna Workman immediately. A firm with such prestige should not be associated with anyone who supports or promotes war crimes or violations of women’s rights.

We need your help to make this happen. Please sign our petition today to show your support for justice and human rights.
