June 8 marks 8 months of US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and marks the 54th anniversary of the occupation of Gaza. A month ago, Biden said that the invasion of Rafah was a red line.

But now, the invasion of Rafah has continued for weeks, has expanded to the entire Gaza Strip, Biden’s red line is nowhere to be seen. Instead of following through and stopping military aid to Israel, Biden has authorized billions more in weapons shipments to be used to kill and massacre Palestinians.

Biden can’t draw the line, but we can. On June 8, we will come together from across the country and surround the White House. Wearing red, and raising our demands high, we will show the world that we are the red line. We demand an immediate ceasefire, an immediate end to the siege on Gaza, the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners, and an end to the occupation of Palestine. Stop the Genocide! We are the red line! Free Palestine!

[USAS Local 54 @usas_umd]

On Friday, March 5th, student organizers with @USAS Local 54 at @UofMaryland - College Park held a banner demanding @President_Pines bargain a contract with @afscme_1072 over pandemic working conditions. #UMDOutbreak #bargainsafety4umd

[Maryland 2 Palestine @md2palestine]

Prisons from the US to Palestine have horrible track records of abuse and uncleanliness. Coupled with a global pandemic, they are breeding grounds for death and disease. @repraskin call to #FreeThemAll from the US to Palestine.

Voting for CC’s student referendum is happening from September 22 to September 25.

We are pushing Columbia University to divest from companies, stocks, and investments funding Israeli apartheid and the occupation of Palestine through settler colonialism.

Vote YES to Divest!

May you never experience the agony of having your country stolen; may you never feel the pain of living in captivity under occupation; may you never witness the demolition of your home or murder of your loved ones. May you never be sold out by your "friends."

In solidarity; for justice,
Students for Justice in Palestine at UMD

[UMD SJP @UMD_SJP]

UMD SJP stands in solidarity with the protests around the United States and recognizes that if we are against injustice in Palestine, we must be against injustice everywhere. All oppression is interconnected, and none of us can be free until all of us are free.

[UMD SJP @UMD_SJP]

However, our thoughts and condolences are not enough. We must educate our families and communities, and this starts with calling out racism and microaggressions perpetuated by those around us. We also encourage you to donate to organizations on the ground.
