CUPE Ontario challenges the idea that universities are private property. They are part our commons; they belong to us all. CUPE Ontario will always defend the right to use civil disobedience and protest to make change and achieve justice. Solidarity with UofT Occupy for Palestine!
A massive show of force. Hundreds of students and their allies walking out of University of Toronto in support of students UofT Occupy for Palestine Students say they are not waiting for police to arrive 👮♀️ “We won’t allow the police to brutalize us.”
This moment. I have no words. "Our encampment may be leaving this physical space, but our fight will continue in the hearts and minds of everyone who believes in human dignity and justice." -Mohammad Yassin, Palestinian student speaking at UofT Occupy for Palestine final press conference.
.University of Toronto students marching. What UofT Occupy for Palestine did for 63 days is historic. It took the University of Toronto 9 years to divest from apartheid South Africa. They were dragged kicking & screaming towards divestment. 👉Those students in the 1980’s were also labelled violent & racist.
One thing I'm left with at the end of UofT Occupy for Palestine: the failure of media to engage with what actually happened there, and the likely inability now to accurately summarize or thoughtfully reflect on what happened, because there was so little curiosity to begin with
I have withdrawn my novel BIRD SUIT from consideration for the 2024 Scotiabank Giller Prize, alongside other authors. We will not let our work be used to aid sponsors actively investing in arms funding and Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. Full letter: canlitresponds.ca/letter-giller
Scotiabank fears protesters, yet appears willing to let the Giller Prize lose its credibility while the bank continues to make obscene amounts of money from weapons manufacturers. Time to walk away from Scotiabank if they can't walk away from Elbit.
