On the Int'l Day of Action & as we approach one year since the beginning of Israel’s genocide on Gaza, we recommit to holding the Biden administration accountable, however long it takes. There is no statute of limitations for genocide, and we will pursue you until justice comes.

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

[Sumaya Awad @sumayaawad]

Police body slammed, violently beat, and then dragged Palestinian professor Steve Tamari for simply participating in the encampment at Wash U St. Louis.

He was told he’s lucky to be alive.

Steve’s words: “the students are our collective best hope for a free Palestine.”
