Stop the suppression of students against genocide

Students need our support right now. 

UPDATES:  More than 2,100 students have been arrested as of May 2nd according to the Associated Press.

Brown University met with students and agreed on concrete steps to respond to students' demands. We applaud this news. University presidents and administrative staff need to listen to the demands of students and stop calling the police and armed guards to shut down dissent."¹ 

Northwestern University administrators also have met with student protesters and reportedly have come to an agreement after using police to shut down protests.²

Emergency action for UCLA: Students were violently attacked by anti-Palestinian counter-protesters. Failed by the university and LA elected officials, please take action for them. Over 200 students arrested in the sweep early May 2nd. (See last tab.)

As of May 2, more than 2,100 students have been arrested for protesting on campuses. Instead of listening to student demands, university presidents are calling the police and armed guards to shut down their activism.³⁴⁵ 

Like a majority of people in the U.S., students want a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to genocide. 

It has been over 200 days of Israeli massacres of Palestinians. It must end. 

Students have played a pivotal role in changing the course of history, helping bring an end to the Vietnam War and South Africa's apartheid. And once again, students are making history.

Students are demanding that universities divest from corporations profiting from Israel's apartheid and genocide. They will not be silenced.

Take action with us. Email 37 university presidents and chancellors responding to nonviolent dissent with punishment and violence. Then please take action for UCLA on the 5th tab. Thank you so much.

** Once you send emails on the first tab you will get moved to the next tab with more targets. The list keeps growing.
