October 22, 2025. On Wednesday afternoon three Ithacans were arrested after waiting all day to speak to a staff person at the Binghamton, NY office of Congressional Representative Josh Riley. There were many attempts since May asking Riley's staff for a meeting, including on Zoom, gone unanswered. Eleven people, including members of the Downtown Berrigan Collective of Ithaca, NY, Veterans for Peace, Broome County Peace Action, the Ithaca Catholic Workers and graduate students came with a list of demands for Congressman Riley.
