We are outraged by the shocking, violent attempts of state power to suppress nationwide protests supporting Palestinian lives and freedom. We know that many of you, your friends, and your children have been directly affected by the police crackdowns on campuses. In the face of that violence, we take comfort and inspiration from the courage of students who bravely continue to decry the genocide in Palestine and related U.S. complicity—despite the punitive, repressive, and discriminatory responses against their activism by law enforcement, campus leadership, politicians, and much of the media. In the last few weeks, we’ve been defending the domestic movement for justice in Palestine by protecting students’ rights to free speech and academic freedom and calling out police departments and campus leadership for targeting Palestinian, Muslim, and allied communities. Here’s an overview of our work from April 2024.
