CU Apartheid Divest calls upon the University to divest its endowment from companies that profit from Israel's violations of Palestinian human rights. 🪬🇵🇸
The People of Hind's Hall have spoken: "We took Hamilton Hall because it belongs to us. We took it because we refuse to remain compliant in the face of an American-led genocide of the Palestinian people."

Minouche Shafik requests maintained NYPD presence on Columbia’s campus through at least May 17th. This administration would rather militarize its community than divest from the genocidal State of Israel.
Caterpillar bulldozer breached NYPD barricade set up to kettle protestors outside Columbia. Reminder that Columbia University invests in Caterpillar, the company which manufactures bulldozers used to demolish Palestinian homes and crush Palestinians to death in Gaza.
🚨BREAKING: Columbia University students form a human chain to protect the protestors who have occupied Hamilton Hall - which has now been renamed HIND’S HALL. 🇵🇸
To every professor who has expressed shock at the events of last night: if you do not take action to demand divestment and an end to police presence on campus by withholding your labor, you too are complicit. You must do more than make statements. You must strike.
WHO WE ARE:
Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) is a coalition of over 100+ student orgs fighting for a liberated Palestine and the end of Columbia's complicity in genocide.
We stand with our peers at the CUNY Gaza Solidarity Encampment and against NYPD’s violence towards student protestors. All eyes on

CUNY is the people’s school & right now they’re under siege. but the arguments won’t be the same, the coverage won’t be the same, & the assault won’t be the same, it will be worse. holding our CUNY brothers & sisters up at City College in strong solidarity tonight
Do not grade exams. Do not teach classes. Our universities which put profit over life must grind to a halt until our demands are met: Divestment, disclosure, an end to campus militarization, and amnesty for all. The student revolution will help free Palestine within our lifetime.
Students were choked and received concussions from police officers. K-9 dogs were used against these students. Horrific violence at SUNY New Paltz by law enforcement.
New York State Police arrested more than 100 pro-Palestine protesters Thursday night at an encampment on the SUNY New Paltz campus. On Friday afternoon students responded by walking out of class and demonstrated in front of the administration building.

Structural racism means

being more invested in "dialogue and discourse" than in the 39 children and adults assassinated in Gaza Strip by the Israeli army.

To justice and divest
We believe in collective liberation and believe that all systems of oppression are interlinked. We keep each other safe. We refuse to accept a world where the mass slaughter of Palestinians is viewed as acceptable, normal, and profitable.
Investment is a stance: there's no way to tip toe around that. Students want the murder of Palestinians to stop, Barnard wants us to calmly discuss while our money continues flowing to Lockheed Martin

@ColumbiaBDS
efforts to pass a BDS resolution
@BarnardCollege
is troubling, as
#BDS
runs counter to the free exchange of ideas & dialogue on campus. We hope the community will recommit themselves to the open exchange of ideas on campus.
The Barnard administration has announced its intentions to refuse to abide by the democratic vote of its students, calling on the college to divest its funds from 8 companies complicit in Israeli settler colonialism

This man oversaw a mass pogrom of Muslims in 2002 -- and then was elected for it. Perhaps Hindutva islamophobia may have encouraged condemnation, but the "silence" we got was total admiration.
Indian PM Modi should be ashamed to allow this kind of photo at today's G20 summit without a peep from him about the Saudi crown prince's role in Jamal Khashoggi's murder or in the bombing and starving of Yemeni civilians.
