Today at UCLA, students committed to justice for Palestine established a liberated zone, organizing teach-ins, discussion circles, Passover Seder, music & much more. The student protests across the nation are historic, akin to those against the Vietnam war & S African apartheid.

NOW: UCLA pro-Palestinian students set up encampment in front of Royce Hall at 4 am today. They join 20+ other campuses that set up camps across the country in huge wave of protests and solidarity.

🚨HAPPENING NOW! Massive crowd of faculty walk out in solidarity with students and with the movement for Palestine at Columbia University University.

Just a reminder that:
•A 6-year old Palestinian boy was killed in Chicago
•His mother brutally stabbed
•3 Palestinian students shot in Vermont, leaving 1 paralyzed from the waist down
•A Muslim was stabbed in Austin

-Yet no media talks about “Muslim” or “Palestinian safety.

It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is. This is a direct challenge to the entire racialized economic system of the south. Keeping the south union free was a core piece of Jim Crow, because unions bring working people together across race.
