John,
We are witnessing horrific attacks on freedom of speech on college
campuses across the country right now, all in defense of genocide.
In response to the nationwide movement of student and faculty protests
demanding their colleges and universities divest from weapons
manufacturers and other companies that contribute to the far-right Israeli
military’s siege on Gaza, militarized police forces are being sent in to
arrest and brutalize peaceful protestors.
At Columbia, an army of heavily armed NYPD forces violently arrested
activists, exerting more force against college students and professors
than we’ve seen from law enforcement during mass shootings like Uvalde or
the violent Capitol insurrection on January 6th.
At UCLA, a mob of anti-Palestinian counter-protestors violently beat
student activists and fired explosives into an encampment of people, while
police were nowhere to be found to protect students.
President Biden and other Democratic leaders like mayors and governors
have done nothing to stop this, while the GOP is rabidly calling for the
National Guard to be deployed to further escalate and terrorize peaceful
protests.
We must stand on the right side of history in this crucial moment and
fight for our democratic freedom to protest a genocide being funded by our
tax dollars.

Guard on college campuses, and reaffirm the right to protest now!
ADD YOUR NAME
We cannot sit idly by and allow history to repeat itself. Further military
action against peaceful activists will only lead to more harm and
potential tragedy like the 1970 Kent State massacre.
As courageous young people rise up in solidarity with the people of Gaza
while Israel’s military threatens to invade Rafah, we must stand with
them.
Thank you for keeping up our collective movement for peace and justice for
ALL, from the United States to Gaza.
