Via CUAD and Jafra:

There will be no school as usual as long as our schools fund and normalize a genocide! We demand that Columbia University drop the suspensions and dismiss all charges against 22 students for the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

At the semesterโ€™s start, another 20 students face hearings for the liberation of Hindโ€™s Hall.

JOIN IN DEMANDING THAT ALL SUSPENSIONS AND CHARGES BE DROPPED.

โ€ผ๏ธ BREAKING โ€ผ๏ธ Bowdoin Students for Justice in Palestine launch the Shaban al-Dalou Union encampment.

A message from the students:
 
Today, we launch this encampment, demanding that Bowdoin immediately commit to fully realizing all four demands of the Bowdoin Solidarity Referendum.
 
We have completely exhausted all of the College's institutional processes for change. We began our campaign totally within the established rules and procedures of the College. We won a student referendum by a supermajority. For months, we have been met with bad faith arguments, placation, and institutional procedure. Bowdoin has left us with no other choice. 
๐Ÿ”ฅ63โค20โคโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ4๐Ÿ˜2๐Ÿ˜ด2๐Ÿ‘1๐Ÿฅฐ1๐Ÿ–•1
This encampment is the first of its kind since the start of the Trump administration. Trump has vowed his unequivocal support for Israelโ€™s genocide, most recently calling for the United States to ethnically cleanse and annex Gaza.  Today, we say enough. It is unacceptable that our endowment and our tax payer money bankrolls the elimination of Palestinian life. As Israeli aggression obliterates Palestinian homes and guns down children in Jenin, as unspeakable suffering continues in Gaza, and as America slides farther into fascism every day, we ask โ€“  what type of institution does Bowdoin want to be?
 
We call our peers in the student movement to join us. Its time to escalate for Palestine. Long live the Student Intifada.

Via CUAD:

Last Friday, Barnard College expelled two pro-Palestinian protestors for their alleged disruption of the Columbia University class โ€œHistory of Modern Israelโ€ on January 21.

Students are staging an emergency sit-in in front of the Deanโ€™s Office in Milbank Hall.

DEMANDS:

* That Dean Leslie Grinage immediately reinstate expelled Barnard students.

*Amnesty for all students disciplined for pro-Palestine action or thought.

*A public meeting with Dean Leslie Grinage and Pres. Laura Rosenbury.

*That Barnard abolish their disciplinary carceral system! Transparency on current, past, and future disciplinary systems.

Disruption until divestment! Resistance until return! Agitation until amnesty!

Barnard and Columbia students are taking back the university and will be holding democratic assemblies for collective decision making regularly throughout the sit-in.

โ€ผ๏ธ HAPPENING NOW: NYU LAW STUDENTS LAUNCH SIT-IN AT PRESIDENT LINDA MILLSโ€™, CALL FOR PICKET OUTSIDE BOBST LIBRARY โ€ผ๏ธ

We demand that Pres. Mills meets with students and answers our demands:
1. Divestment from weapons manufacturers and the settler colonial Zionist state.
2. Amnesty for students punished for the December 11th sit-in.
3. A pledge to protect noncitizen students, faculty, and staff by refusing to report our community to ICE.

It has been 16 months of resistance to Israeli apartheid and genocide in Palestine. NYUโ€™s response to students who have spoken out? Building walls, bringing cops to campus, arresting and suspending students and faculty, labeling us as โ€œthreats,โ€ โ€œoutside agitators,โ€ and โ€œterroristsโ€ for peacefully demanding justice.

After NYU suspended over a dozen students for a peaceful sit-in last December, law students are showing up to prove that the student movement for Palestine cannot be stopped.

The university funds and profits off of genocide while silencing student voices. We demand Pres. Mills and the Board of Trustees take responsibility. Your complicity in violence and oppression will not go unnoticed. We will not leave until you listen.

MASK UP, GRAB YOUR COMRADES, AND JOIN THE PICKET OUTSIDE OF BOBST!

No peace until we have justice! Disruption until divestment! Resistance until return! Agitation until amnesty!

The more they try to silence us, the louder we will be. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

DHS DETAINS COLUMBIA STUDENT! DEMAND THEIR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ๐Ÿ”ˆ

Last night, Department of Homeland Security agents detained a Palestinian student at Columbia University, following the student and his pregnant spouse into their building in Morningside Heights, in Columbia University housing. DHS agents abducted and detained Khalil without the demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges. Agents told Mahmoud that the State Dept. had revoked his student visa., with the arresting agent making the claim that the US State Department had โ€œrevoked that too,โ€ in reference to his green card.

At the time of this posting, Khalil is being held in ICE detention in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
