Students and faculty at Stanford University announce they are joining the nationwide campus hunger strike movement to protest attacks on academic freedom and complicity in the Gaza genocide.
If ever there was a moment that demands civil disobedience, it is the hour of genocide.
Students and faculty at Stanford University announce they are joining the nationwide campus hunger strike movement to protest attacks on academic freedom and complicity in the Gaza genocide.
If ever there was a moment that demands civil disobedience, it is the hour of genocide.
An urgent ask from Stanford SJP is to sign and circulate the Drop the Charges petition https://actionnetwork.org/forms/supportstanford12?source=direct_link& which demands that the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office drop the felony charges brought against twelve Stanford University students and alumni following their participation in a protest advocating for Stanford’s divestment from corporations implicated in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
I can certainly agree that the words they used do not adequately describe the reality. I guess one could tell them to stop watering down the language of their complaint, or maybe they just want the District Attorney to drop the charges, and think that speaking the truth would be counterproductive. Regardless, I support what they are trying to accomplish and won't let the wimpy wording stop me from that.
Hunger Strike!

“Humanitarian crisis” doesn’t adequately explain conditions in Gaza. How about butchery?
