in the meantime the rest of CUNY is literally in shambles. elevators broken for years at a time, rats, mold, water damage, poor ventilation. and yet the BoT can allocate *millions* of dollars for urgent expenses when it comes to policing students!

From Gaza to Vietnam, protests have shaped UW-Madison history captimes.com/news/education…

HAPPENING NOW ALL ACROSS ISRAEL: we're demonstrating and blocking traffic, demanding the government to accept the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, to release the hostages and end the killing.

Many of our activist are arrested. We will not stop until we end this war. עומדים ביחד نقف معًا Standing Together🟣

More than 50 student groups have joined UW Madison’s pro Palestine encampment organizers, SJP, YDSA, and Wisco for Pali, to call on the university to divest from Israel, according to SJP’s Instagram. Here are the groups:

The point of this raid was terror. They waited for those kids to fall asleep. And then they pulled the tents from under them while they were sleeping. Shame on the University of Chicago.

Statement from Wisconsin Union Council Executive Committee today:

'Memorial Union was used as the location to process demonstrators who were arrested... this purpose was antithetical to the Union's mission.'

Earlier today GW instructed staff to hang this giant American flag behind the encampment. This is how the encampment responded. These young people are awe inspiring. A historic image.

UFAS stands in solidarity with our students' and colleagues' right to protest. If you are a UW-Madison student, staff member, faculty member, or alum, please join us in adding your name to the 3000 who have signed this statement of support.

#Emory now under federal investigation for alleged anti-Muslim discrimination. Emory’s police response appeared to be quickest use of police against recent campus protests for Palestine demanding divestment from Israel — & likely first to involve tasers. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…

The fatphobia in my replies & mentions had been startling even for me as a person who is used to being harassed online for my size, appearance and identities.

UFAS will represent any faculty or academic staff at UW-Madison who is threatened with disciplinary action for any reason, including exercising our right to peaceful protest. Join your union now! join.aft.org/form/united-fa…
