Brown Divest Coalition

We call on our institution, Brown University, to divest from companies profiting from the genocide in Gaza.

[MIT Coalition for Palestine - Commentary @m1t_caa]

🚨BREAKING🚨 We just released an 83-page report 'MIT Science for Genocide' on how the Israeli military sponsors war research on campus. ZERO degrees of separation to génocidaires.

This is immoral, illegal, and unpopular. MIT ARMS EMBARGO NOW!

ACURM, the Advisory Committee for University Resource Management, was key in the Brown Corporation’s vote against divestment. Grossman ‘24 exposes how admin manufactured the outcome of the vote. https://t.co/OCmNl59Gwz

BROWN SJP SUSPENDED WHILE UNDER INVESTIGATION. UNIVERSITY HIRES EXTERNAL INVESTIGATOR TO SURVEIL ITS STUDENTS PROTESTING AGAINST INVESTMENTS IN GENOCIDE.

EVERYONE COME TO 222 RICHMOND STREET TO TELL THE BROWN CORPORATION BOARD OF COWARDS THAT BROWN MUST DIVEST NOW 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Brown University's divestment vote is scheduled for next month, and with the anniversary of the 7 October approaching, pro-Israel voices on campus are now stepping up pressure on the Corporation of Brown University to avoid the vote entirely

On Monday, a group of student members of Brown Students for Israel are making the case in front of the Advisory Committee on University Resources Management that a vote on divestment is “functionally antisemitic” and “there is no genocide in Gaza”

BREAKING: Joseph Edelman, a trustee on the Brown Corporation, publicly resigned from his Brown post Sunday. He cited Brown’s upcoming vote on divestment in October.

This story is developing.

4000 Brown alumni now calling for divestment:
“…investing in companies that facilitate human rights abuses and environmental degradation…creates a cycle where the advancement of our alma mater is supported by the suffering and exclusion of others.”

“Judge Nicholas Parrillo said he was going against the objections of the city of Providence and Brown University in issuing the not guilty filing to the protestors”

[Brown Divest Coalition @DivestBrown]

The 41 Brown students arrested in the December sit-in received a not-guilty filing from the Providence judiciary on May 14. They will not be charged, despite Brown’s refusal to drop the trespassing charges against them.

On this mama’s day, do everything u can 2 protect Palestinian mothers. Israel kills two mamas every hour in #Gaza as part of its genocidal rampage & one element of its attempt to prevent Palestinian births & stem a Palestinian future.

The ground invasion of Rafah is starting and now is (well past) the moment people in the imperial core have to really fucking step up, play our role and stop the machine from running by all possible means. What are we worth if we can’t? Gaza has no reason to forgive us.

[Brown Divest Coalition @DivestBrown]

From Ferguson to Harlem to Gaza, the struggle against carcerality and the struggle for Palestinian liberation are inextricable.

[Brown Divest Coalition @DivestBrown]

We CANNOT let this be used to pacify us. Long live the student revolution.

We will not let our agreement be used to pacify this movement. Rather, we will use it to fuel us further. With the strength of our collective organizing power laid bare, this deal is far from the end. It is a victory only in the language of the bureaucracy.

[Brown Divest Coalition @DivestBrown]

Radical change outside of the institution’s vernacular is requisite for true liberation. We refuse to allow this moment to be co-opted as an exemplar of ‘respectable’ student protest or ‘benevolent’ university diplomacy.

[Brown Divest Coalition @DivestBrown]

How can Brown ever be the ‘civil’ and ‘progressive’ institution the media portrays it as when it profits off the indiscriminate murder of over 12,000 children? When Safariland, a company it refuses to divest from, produces the very tear gas being used on campus and in Palestine?
