** Sign the petition: Reinstate Students Supporting Israel Chapter at Duke University!
------------------------------------------------------------

Students Supporting Israel (SSI) is a national student organization with the mission to be a clear and confident pro-Israel voice on campuses, and to support students with grassroots activism.
A new SSI chapter at Duke was chartered on Wednesday, November 10th, 2021. Yet, on Monday, November 15, 2021, we unexpectedly learned that Duke’s Student Government President decided to veto the recognition of Duke’s SSl’s chapter on campus.
The reason for the veto: the chapter responded to a critical comment on social media made by another Duke student about the creation of the club, explaining why the student's comment was inaccurate and what is SSI's mission on campus, and called her to participate in SSI's upcoming event.
The student then complained that the chapter's response was harassing her and making her feel unsafe, and the Student Government President vetoed the existence of the group altogether, in a veto not used by a student government president for years.
This incident is a perfect example of why Duke needs an SSI chapter. Please support Jewish Duke students by signing the Change.org petition ([link removed]) .
