Students at UChicago encampment gather in silence around a speaker for radio broadcast of WKCR 89.9, Columbia’s student station. Student press are producing incredible coverage as swarms of NYPD riot cops pepper spray, beat and arrest their classmates for protesting genocide
"This generation of youth have spent their entire lives in fear of having guns pointed at them in schools; what a disgrace for America that is now their own schools that are pointing the guns at them."
--Josh Paul, former Director, US Department of State (resigned in protest)
I am in tears. Free Mumia. Free Palestine.
"Do not let go of this moment. Make it bigger. Make it more massive. Make it more powerful. Make it echo up into the stars. I am thrilled by your work. I love you. I admire you. On the moon." --Mumia Abu-Jamal
BREAKING ‼️
As of 4 AM this morning, Columbia University students have occupied the center of campus, launching our Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
We demand divestment and an end to Columbia’s complicity in genocide.
We are constantly bombarded by images of Israeli soldiers defiling the spaces and clothes of Palestinian women & girls. Violence against Palestinian women and girls has been sanctioned by the west which is why IDF soldiers feel comfortable posting these disrespectful images.
TEENAGERS ARE GETTING ARRESTED FOR EXPRESSING THEIR SUPPORT TO PALESTINE
THIS LITERALLY BREAKS THE FIRST AMENDMENT WHICH IS THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION!!
WE SUPPORT THOSE TEENAGERS FOR DOING WHAT IS RIGHT!!!
