Newark Airport
Organizing against military logistics at Newark Liberty. The same Port Authority that runs JFK runs Newark, and the same public pressure can reach it.
🔍 Why Newark Airport matters
Newark Liberty runs through public infrastructure, accountable to public pressure. Like JFK, the region's marine terminals, bridges, and tunnels, it falls under the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The same agency, the same logistics, the same opening for accountability.
Minutes from both Newark and neighboring Port Elizabeth sits a Jersey City warehouse that a Palestinian Youth Movement and Progressive International report identified as a conduit for 90 percent of the commercial sea cargo headed from the U.S. to the Israeli military.
✈️ What moves through Newark
The Jersey City warehouse that handles the bulk of Israel-bound military cargo ships its air volume out through Newark and JFK, and its sea volume through adjacent Port Elizabeth. Both routes sit on the same public agency's books.

Who runs Newark Liberty International Airport?
Newark Liberty is operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the public agency that also runs JFK Airport and the region's marine terminals, bridges, and tunnels. The Arms Embargo Now petition presses the Port Authority over military logistics at Newark Liberty, and organizers are linking Newark workers and local unions to the same Port Authority accountability effort behind the JFK and Port Elizabeth campaigns.
How is military cargo through Newark documented?
Through published reporting and public records. Drop Site News investigated the Jersey City warehouse that feeds Newark's air cargo route. A Palestinian Youth Movement and Progressive International report identified that warehouse as a conduit for 90 percent of the commercial sea cargo headed from the U.S. to the Israeli military (The American Prospect). The Ditch has documented DSV freight bound for Israel. A company is added to the database only when an already-published source documents its role, and the complete dataset is free to download under CC0 on the tracker.
