SUMMARY:The Palestine Exception Screening
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 15\, 2025\, 3:00 – 4:30 PM\, Rapson Hall\, Room 100\, 89 Church Street SE\, Mpls \n🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸Join us on Nakba Day\, this Thursday\, May 15th for a free screening of “The Palestine Exception” at UMN. \n📍Rapson Hall\, Room 100\n89 Church Street SE \n⏰ 3 PM \nAs we prepare for the Nakba March on Saturday\, May 17\, join us on Thursday May 15 to watch the film\, “The Palestine Exception.” Let us not be silent about the ongoing Nakba in Palestine! \nAbout the film: “After years of right-wing assaults on higher education\, attacks took a new form in 2023 and 2024 that has been described as the new McCarthyism. As students across the country organize protests against Israel’s war on Gaza\, decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel–the “Palestine exception”–are shattered. This film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators\, the media\, the police and politicians. Scholars from diverse disciplines explain what is at stake in these protests and why so many young people identify with the Palestinian cause. The documentary unfolds as a story of college campuses as sites of both rebellion and repression\, places where personal and collective histories converge in unexpected ways.“\n#nakba #palestineexception #umn \nSponsored by WAMM\, the Free Palestine Coalition and many more \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:National Day of Action for Higher Ed! Palestinian Prisoner's Day
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 17\, 2025 \nFood Drive: 10:30am – 2:30pm — 1721 University Ave SE \nWatch Party: 4-6pm — 130 Murphy Hall \nRally: 7pm — Northrop Mall \nDie-in & Candlelight vigil: 8:15pm \nJoin UMN Educators for Justice in Palestine\, UMN Divest Coalition organizations\, MN Free Palestine Coalition organizations\, and several community organizations on the National Day of Action for Higher Ed to stand up for Palestinian liberation\, immigrant rights\, prison abolition\, and academic freedom. April 17 is also the Palestinian Prisoners’ Day. We join other academic workers\, students\, union members\, and activists within multiple higher education associations and unions\, trade unions\, and others across the U.S. for a coordinated national direct action in protest of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the escalating repression at home. We believe that the liberal notion of academic freedom divorced from Palestine speech is not freedom! We stand against the neoliberal and colonial logic of higher ed that represses speech and academic freedom in the US and that enables genocide\, carceral tactics\, starvation\, and the long-running destruction of education and historical memory in Gaza and throughout Palestine. Free Palestine! Hands Off Our Students! Dismantle ICE! Stop Suppressing Palestine Speech! Endorsed by WAMM \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Healthcare Justice in Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 17\, 2024\, 5:30 – 7:30 pm\, Rapson Hall room 100\, 89 Church St SE\, Minneapolis\, MN 55455 \nSave the date!!! Join us to learn about healthcare Justice in Palestine from Palestinian and Palestine Solidarity healthcare professionals. \n⏰ October 17\, 5:30-7:30 pm\n📍Rapson Hall\, Room 100. UMN. 89 Church St SE\, Minneapolis\, MN 55455 \nAdvocacy is rooted in literacy. It has never been more important to learn about Palestine\, connect in community\, and then speak up in every space we can. Racist erasure thrives on our ignorance when we are cut off from each other and from knowledge. It thrives on replacing principled resistance with apathy and convincing us to despair. Resist this. \nJoin @ejpumn for an evening of connection in community\, liberatory learning\, and a reminder of our certainty of freedom. We all have a role in striving towards liberation. All of us or none of us. 🇵🇸 \nOrganized by Educators for Justice in Palestine – UMN\, SJP UMN and UMN SDS \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:In Support of Palestinian Liberation Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 29\, 2024\, 3:00 – 5:00 PM\, Room 125 in Wiley Hall\, 225 S 19th Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN 55455 \nUMN Educators for Justice in Palestine (EJP) in collaboration with the National Lawyers Guild and the MN Free Palestine Coalition has organized a lecture by the Palestinian-Amnerican attorney and human rights activist\, Huwaida Arraf. \n  \nAn internationally-known activist\, Huwaida has been involved in a number of legal and grassroots initiatives for Palestinian rights in the past two decades. In 2001\, she co-founded the International Solidarity Movement (ISM)\, a Palestinian-led non-violent resistance movement\, which has twice been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. From 2007-2008\, Huwaida helped build the first accredited clinical legal education program in the Arab world\, based at Al-Quds University. She was one of the initiators and organizers of the first delegation of lawyers to enter Gaza following Operation Cast Lead (2008-2009)\, and co-authored the report on their findings\, “Onslaught: Israel’s Attack on Gaza and the Rule of Law.” Huwaida is the former Chairperson of the Free Gaza Movement\, and from August to December 2008\, led 5 successful sea voyages to the Gaza Strip to confront and challenge Israel’s illegal blockade on the 2 million Palestinians living there. She was one of the primary organizers of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and was traveling with it when it was lethally attacked by Israeli forces on 31 May 2010.  In 2011\, she was one of the six Palestinian Freedom Riders\, who\, inspired by the U.S. Civil Rights Movement’s Freedom Rides of the 1960s\, attempted to ride segregated Israeli settler public transport\, for which they were harassed then violently arrested. \nHuwaida is currently based in Michigan where she practices civil rights law and continues to devote much of her time to activism on Palestine and other human rights and social justice issues. She is the co-chair of the National Lawyers Guild Palestine Subcommittee\, and sits on a number of organizational boards\, including New Generation for Palestine\, Eyewitness Palestine and  the Advisory Board of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights. In 2020 she served as a Bernie Sanders delegate to the Democratic National Convention. \n\n\n	Related
