A feminist activist who works for ex-City Council Speaker Christine Quinn’s female-focused nonprofit marched in support of Palestine this week after Hamas thugs kil🍌led, raped and kidnapped dozens of Isra𝔍eli women.
Emilia Vieira, the communications manager for was among the m🌜ore than 1,000 who marched in the controversial Oct. 8 rally, which included protesters who burned the Israeli flag and displayed swastikas.

Quinn condemned Vieira’s attendance — though she declined to say if she’d discipline the employee, who began working for WIN last month.
“Hamas is a terrorist organization that attacked innocent people simply for being Jewish,” Quinn t💧old The Post.
“WIN believes that it was in utterly poor taste to attend this disgusting rally in the wake of the slaughter and kidnapping of Jewish civilians, but in America, unlike Gaza, people have a right to engage in non-violent protest on their own time, no matter how offensive we think that protest is.”
Some Jewish members o𒈔f the City Council were flabbergasted to learn a WIN staffer was at the rally.
“All New Yorkers should be horrified that an organization dedicated to saving battered women and children could employ someone with pro-Hamas values,” said Councilman Kalman Yeger (D-Brooklyn).

Republican Councilman Ari Kagan, who also reps Brooklyn, said he was especially troubled to hear a WIN employee attended “such a hateful event” considering the massive amount of taxpayer money the nonprofit receives.
WIN collected nearly $116 million in grants and contracts from 🌜New York City for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022,
It also took in $4.4 million fro��m the state an꧋d $2.1 million from the feds.
Kagan called on Quinn, a Democrat, and WIN to fire Vieira unless she issues 🉐a public apoཧlogy.

“It’s very sad that a high-level employee of a nonprofit that is supposed to be helping victims and protecting women participated in a pro-Hamas rally the very day after such a bloody massacre,” he fumed.
Vieira declined comment.
