Protesters arrested for seizing Hind’s Hall at Columbia University are refusing any deals unless protesters at CUNY are offered the same, and they stand in solidarity with those facing the most extreme repression in the movement.
From Atlanta to Palestine, our struggles are inextricably intertwined, and the latest round of police violence against protesters proves this.
The arrests and violence against protesters are meant to tire the movement for liberation and scare us into complacency. They are afraid of the power we hold as a collective.
David Meer was arrested during the brutal police raid on the Gaza solidarity encampment at Emory University in Atlanta. Meer talks to Mondoweiss about his arrest, the broad Palestine coalition on campus, and why he became involved.
We are students from universities across Atlanta who are organizing against Cop City and the genocide of Palestinians. We demand total institutional divestment from Israeli apartheid and Cop City at all Atlanta colleges and universities.
The war on Gaza is being used to advance fascism and white supremacy in the U.S. It is also opening people’s eyes to global systems that require genocide to continue. To stand with Palestine is to transform those systems and build a different world.

The indivisibility of justice requires that the Palestinian liberation movement support the Black liberation struggle with the same fierce determination as we do our own.
