STATEMENT FROM CONCERNED UCI BLACK FACULTY AND STAFF ABOUT THE ARREST OF PROF. WILLOUGHBY-HERARD

With close to 80% of UAW 4811 members voting to go on strike, we are ready to go on strike immediately.

Join us for a Rank and File Popular Assembly tomorrow Thursday 5/16 at 1 PM at Royce steps. We’ll discuss our next steps now that we’ve successfully voted to strike.

A tenured UC Irvine professor (of global studies) is being arrested for protesting alongside students: “We cannot have a genocidal foreign policy in a democracy.”

Recently published article on Jose Garcia Villa in Amerasia Journal! Writing about Villa is like confronting a brilliant but disappointing father—so much nature, weirdness, divinity, fire, and queerness in his work. If you would like a PDF, DM me!

Students showed all of us what building a better world looks like. Learning from students has been everything in this cesspool of a violent institution that has continued to harm my students and my community. In that I find hope.

UC SAN DIEGO:
Two days after UC San Diego sicced riot police on their Gaza Solidarity Encampment, hundreds of students are walking out of class in protest.

The youth are the heart of the revolution and the Student Intifada will not be stopped.

#UCI faculty ALL OUT FOR OUR STUDENTS 5/3 2:00PM at Rowland Hall
#UCI ntifada #DivestFromIsrael

What we are watching happen at #UCLA tonight is nothing short of an invasion of what has been a peaceful and beautiful community for the last week, one standing up for #Gaza and against the occupation and genocide of #Palestine and Palestinians.

Quite a sight

Graeme Blair, associate professor of political science and member of Faculty for Justice in Palestine, said via text message that professors inside the encampment “plan to be arrested alongside students who have done nothing but talk about a genocide taking place in Palestine.”

Reporters at UCLA tonight who'll help make sense of what's happening --
Jeremy Lindenfeld Sergio Olmos Daily Bruin Matthew Lewis Royer (he/him/his) camacho. Will add more as I spot folks tweeting from the ground.

LAPD is mobilizing and the protesters are following trying to stop their path at the time I posted this. They now have their riot helmets on.

THOUSANDS of community members are out in front of the UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment, protecting the camp from the planned police raid.

WE NEED MORE BODIES! LA GET HERE NOW!

ALL POWER TO THE STUDENTS!

The LAPD has just told the UCLA medic tent that they will sweep the camp between sometime between tonight 1am-6am. Think about what it means that the medic tent had to be told in advance.
