Despite arrests, Columbia students are still going strong at this historic anti-genocide encampment on the university campus. They are demanding that Columbia divest from the Zionist regime and their numbers are steadily growing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Press conference at 7 PM at the Columbia University President’s house at 60 Morningside Drive.

I was grateful to interview Rachel Herzing & Justin Piché, PhD about their fantastic book, How to Abolish Prisons (@haymarketbooks), for Truthout and Inquest. I learned so much from the book’s concrete, wide-ranging stories of abolitionist campaigns.

The irony that a university named in honor of the most infamous genocider of the Americas—Columbus—is also ground zero for crushing anti-genocide protests in the twenty-first century should not escape notice.

WE ARENT GOING ANYWHERE

students continue flooding onto south field west after the NYPD raided the Gaza Solidarity Encampment (on south field east)

Google fired 28 workers for organizing against its contract with Israel.

Columbia is sending in full riot gear cops to harass & arrests students demanding an end to genocide. 3 students
suspended.

Admins across the US are silencing commencement speakers, USC is the latest

Columbia students race to another lawn to continue occupying campus in their campaign to force the university to divest from Israel. The Gaza Solidarity Encampment is being ransacked by police, and dozens have been arrested, incl. two legal observers (4th slide) 📷 N Constantine

As a Columbia University alum and current adjunct lecturer, it's horrifying to see the university admin send in a police force (with a known record of brutality) to arrest students peacefully demonstrating.

How do these administrators think their little ceremonies for the rest of the year are going to go?

As expected, students have been galvanized by Columbia University's crackdown on peaceful protesters. Hundreds have rushed to take the place of their classmates who were arrested on the East Lawn and have now taken over the West Lawn.

Witness is an act of resistance, one that I suspect will anger prison officials, much like some of its chapters did as independently published articles. Retaliation is the risk faced by all incarcerated journalists. blogs.law.ox.ac.uk/death-penalty-…

Breaking news: Palestinian professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian has been arrested for 'suspicion of incitement.' Jerusalem's Hebrew University suspended her last month after she said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. She told Democracy Now! her personal safety was at risk.

University students have been at the heart of American radical activism for a century, and university administrators have been on the wrong side every time. It matters what we do on college campuses. These fights are worth having.

Look what was waiting on my desk for me today! 🎉 Haymarket Books Rachel Herzing + Justin Piché, PhD
