They’ve been reading out the names of students killed by Israel for more than 15 minutes now here @occupyuoft Convocation @uofT
🎓 Students & faculty are holding a graduation ceremony for the all the students & faculty killed by Israel in the past 8 months.
an update on admin talks:
@UofT is distracting from a genocide. read that again. feel the weight of what it means.
sandy keeps sending university-wide emails implying they are negotiating in good faith.
this isn’t true. they only want to talk about toilets and fences. 🧵
Day 7 @occupyuoft
It’s been a week that I’ve been speaking with Erin Mackey. The 23yr old poli-sci & environment studies student. She says the administration isn’t engaging with them re: their demands that UofT divest from arms manufacturers.
PLEASE stop repeating the line that universities are "private property" - they are Public Institutions funded by tax $ - part of the Commons - with half their operations funded by user fees - tuition paid by students - so if anyone "ownes" then I'd say it's them!
📢 URGENT: CALLING ALL FOR A 7 PM RALLY 📢
This morning we received a letter from UofT administration stating we are not allowed to protest after 10 PM, creating a pretext for potentially shutting down the encampment. 1/5
Neoliberalism cannot fathom an action that isn’t a résumé builder or a careerist opportunity. That’s the truth about the ruling classes: they have no ethical imagination, no vision, and no hope.
Students and young people are the moral compass for social movements. They have everything to lose, and yet they put it all on the line for humanity. Shame on the complicit genocide sympathizers and enablers that sit in their ivory tower institutions employing state violence.
Transgender youth:
- have 7x the risk of suicide attempt vs cisgender youth
- are incredibly anxious about reactions of friends/family
- when provided gender affirming care (including hormone therapy at ONSET of puberty and safe spaces) have improved mental health #Alberta 1/2
What we all feared has happened. The Palestinian Ministry of Health has declared full collapse of the health system in Gaza. No electricity, no medical supplies, no sanitary requirements, not even blood units for the injured. In Gaza if you're not dead, you're dying slowly.
