Sociologist Sharmila Rudrappa makes clear that 'genocide and colonial occupation are in direct violation of reproductive justice.'

'We can no longer, if we ever could, retreat to a dispassionate objectivity within the walls of academia. Now is the time to also stand up for the moral principles that brought so many of us to Sociology.'

Michael Burawoy, a guiding light over so many generations!

“I urge you all to acknowledge the class of 2024 of Gaza…that no longer exists. Students that will not be walking their stage this year and 14,000 children who will never walk a stage again.”

Looks like these students understand more than Hillary Clinton.

I am extremely frustrated and shocked that today the University of Pennsylvania decided to employ a militarized police force to clear the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Councilmember Jamie Gauthier and I will always support the rights of our constituents to protest.

All eyes on Rafah. People debating student protest slogans want to distract you from what the students are actually protesting, which is this genocide.

Today, students at Rutgers-New Brunswick compelled our administration to make substantial headway on eight of their ten demands. Lessons—

Protest works.

The Palestinian movement is growing stronger.

University presidents don’t have to call in brutal cops.
