University of Michigan @UMich student encampment violently raided at 5:30AM this morning. Students arrested, injured and some reportedly hospitalized. Shame! #studentprotests

In addition to at least three arrests we confirm at least two students have been hospitalized.

‼️BREAKING‼️ At 5AM today, MSP raided the camp; multiple protesters pepper sprayed, 2 hospitalized, 4 comrades detained. ALL OUT TO WASHTENAW COUNTY JAIL!

Early this morning @UMich police moved on the @TAHRIRumich encampment protesting Israel's inhumane war in Gaza. Students were pepper sprayed & one has been arrested.

@UMichPrezOno's explanation for these actions is thin and unconvincing. 35,000 innocents are dead in Gaza. 1/

On Wednesday, #A2Council unanimously voted to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an unarmed crisis response team which “intentionally lacks a direct or indirect linkage to the Ann Arbor Police Department.” 🧵(1/8)

Is this what democracy looks like when people organize against police brutality and the militarization of our cities?

Organizing is not a Crime!

Solidarity with the Atlanta 3 and all the organizers in Atlanta #StopCopCity

[#AbolitionNow #StopCopCity @rustbeltradio]

As #StopCopCity comrades house in Atlanta gets raided, @UMich sends @geo3550 to court and now sends the cops after them too.

Reminder: the "Police state" includes universities.

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

U-M admin only know how to do one thing - intimidate.
First they intimidated workers by withholding pay and surveilling pickets.
Then they intimidated chairs and faculty into fabricating grades.
Now they're intimidating grad workers by sending cops into their homes.

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

BREAKING: U-M escalates broad policing powers to intimidate a union member at their home. This comes after months of intimidating picketers on the lines, sending so-called "campus police" miles away from campus to surveil union pickets, and detaining members. Our statement:

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

WHOSE UNIVERSITY? OUR UNIVERSITY! Grad Workers occupied Ruthven today and dropped a GEO Strike Banner! We are reclaiming our space.

*200ish - come meet with us, @SantaJOno! And we're not just protesters, we're union members and allies! Ann Arbor is a union town, and if you're the president of this uni, you owe it to your students and workers to follow up on the open communication you promised!
