KRFH has reported from a trusted source that the university is mobilizing 200 police tomorrow night to break the Gaza solidarity occupation. The police can't break our love for one another.

We won't let them.

🇵🇸 DAILY DISPATCH (4/28/2024) 🇵🇸

STRIKE! BARRICADE! STRIKE!

The American university is a moral failure. These rotting institutions have directly facilitated the wholesale destruction of Gaza’s educational infrastructure by financing the very same bombs that decimated them. If there is no functioning university in Gaza, there cannot be a functioning university anywhere.

We have seen a massive groundswell of popular support for the student movement. But support is not enough. Solidarity with encampments means solidarity with Gaza.

As Bisan said in her video today, this movement is not for students only.

A professor at USC announced last night that she was canceling the final assignment for her class. In an email to her students, which she also shared on X, Prof. Sarah Rebecca Kessler wrote: “How are we supposed to engage in normal finals-week behaviour while our university administration is criminalizing its students for … opposing war and mass death and protesting its draconian policies? How are you supposed to take exams with LAPD helicopters loudly circling overhead?”

Other faculty—at CUNY, NYU, and Northwestern—have put their bodies on the line, acting as a line of defense for encampments. UT Austin faculty stopped working for 24 hours. This was the first faculty strike since the encampments began. It cannot be the last.

Students in solidarity with Gaza have risked everything from arrest to eviction to expulsion. Teachers, what will you do?

There is only one answer: STRIKE!

We heed the call from trade unions in Palestine who remind us that “decent employment should never come at the expense of countless Palestinian lives. […] An injury to one is truly an injury to all.” Professors, faculty, staff, and graduate students: you must join the struggle. Demand divestment by withholding your labor. NO class, NO grades, NO finals. Suspend the semester. Cancel commencement. STRIKE!

Scenes from Palestine Square in New Orleans, Louisiana (formerly "Jackson Square"), the first non-university encampment in solidarity with Gaza in the US which launched earlier today.

"From the campus to the street, it is time to escalate!"

"Palestinians have seen this struggle and responded in support, and called for a continued escalation against the US war machine to end the genocide. Let us heed this call!"


"We are here to liberate this space and to listen to Palestinians' call to continue this struggle."
