New York teachers and other Department of Education staffers were mandated to take the vaccine by city authorities. The mandate was supposed to take effect on Sept. 27, but was temporarily blocked by a federal judge on Sept. 24. However, a federal appeals panel ruled in favor of the mandate hours before it was scheduled to begin. The Epoch Times talked to some of the organizers of the protest. “The movement is growing, my numbers of followers keep going up and I have more people contacting me, asking me for help,” said Jo Rose, co-organizer. “It’s gonna continue to grow because there are people that are willing to lose their livelihood in order to keep their freedom.”
