Columbia has always had an incredible history of students fighting for a more just world and it’s good to see that tradition continue. As NYPD surrounds young activists, I hope their concerns are heard by school administrators and they not be criminalized. In solidarity ✊🏽

The right to protest and freedom of expression are cornerstones of democracy. In the 80s students protested apartheid. Today, I was compelled to stand with others in solidarity with Palestine and our right to academic freedom as we peacefully walked around the campus precinct

Still here outside of Columbia University in support of @ColumbiaSJP and Gaza! Come join! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

columbia’s students against apartheid were right in 1985 and the students against the genocide in gaza are right today. the university responded the same way both times: mass arrests africanactivist.msu.edu/recordFiles/21…
