Protests Break Out at Brooklyn Cafe After Congressman Dan Goldman Banned for Israel Support
About 65 protesters and counter-protesters gathered as the Justice Department opened a civil-rights investigation into Poetica Coffee’s refusal to serve Rep. Dan Goldman.
- Roughly 65 protesters and counter-protesters gathered outside Poetica Coffee's Williamsburg location on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, after the shop banned Congressman Dan Goldman over his stance on Israel.
- Poetica's management posted on Instagram that they would not serve "genocide enablers," digitally refunding Goldman nearly $10 and telling the New York Democrat not to return.
- Goldman lost his Democratic primary for New York's 10th congressional district to former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander on Tuesday, one day before the rally.
- Federal investigators from the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division opened a probe citing laws prohibiting public establishments from discriminating based on religion or national origin.
- Lawfare filed a complaint with the state Human Rights Commission regarding the cafe's discriminatory practices, as police barriers separated the opposing groups throughout the demonstration.
