Very eager to share a new article out today; we catalog and critique the ways in which social work instructors, students, and practitioners have been silenced for speaking/acting against the genocide targeting Palestinians. Linked here: https://t.co/ziEnuUZko9
URGENT ACTION! North Carolina is prosecuting Amanda Wallace, Founder of @StopCPSNow_ ,in response to her organizing to keep families together.
Amanda’s work to hold the family policing system accountable should be celebrated, not criminalized.

The violence is being perpetrated *by pro-Israel mobs* and *police.* It’s all on video. Look how New York Times describes it—trying to convey falsely that it is people protesting peacefully against genocide.

those saying that focusing on police response to students is distraction from ending genocide..
Respectfully, no
Police are anti-Black *occupying* force on Indigenous lands everywhere, enforcers of global racial colonial modernity.
Decolonization & abolition are intertwined.
“Prisoners are the compass of our struggle” remains as true as ever — if they do it to students, they do it in the prisons and detention centers.
Palestinian freedom necessitates an end to US empire, necessitates an end to the carceral state, requires abolition.

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.
To ensure the delivery of life-saving aid to Gaza and to secure our safety, write to your congressional representative to demand the US pressure Israel into allowing us through the illegal blockade:

New York University constructing a border around sites of popular support for anti-Zionism. All the walls will fall, free Palestine, end the genocide of Gaza, and may the students be victorious
Just got in from an amazing trip and look what was in the mail room waiting for me. It hits different when you actually get to hold it! 🥲 Aboltion and Social Work will be released next week on April 30th you can order directly from @haymarketbooks website or many others ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
All the stuff in the news about protests on US universities keeps reminding me that Israel blew up every single university in Gaza, and most of it's schools too.
I have never seen anything like this happen before at Columbia. There is no fear left among students. Organizers were arrested en masse & when I got out of jail, I was told students occupied another lawn on their own. Hundreds are willing to risk arrest. I am so filled with hope.
