After hundreds of Columbia students staged a 30+ hour sit-in in solidarity with Palestine, the school administration called in the NYPD to shut down the sit-in and arrest dozens of students.

But this act of extreme administrative repression has not stopped students: we’ve set up a second solidarity encampment and accompanying picket line, and are prepared to stay until demands are met, which include as follows:

Full financial transparency

Divest from apartheid Israel

Full amnesty for students who have engaged in protests and actions supporting Palestine

Full amnesty for professors and other university workers supporting Palestine

To support arrested students, please 1) Venmo @ bcabolitioncollective, 2) call the Columbia University president’s office and demand that they drop all charges, stop harassing peaceful protestors, and accede to student demands, and 3) join, organize, and support similar actions on your campuses and in your neighborhoods!
