While counterprotestors tore down our signs last night, public safety officers repeatedly harassed us, refusing to let us rest. Disgusting — Princeton continues to actively endanger its students. What is so threatening about a student trying to stay warm?
On the third day of Princeton’s Hunger Strike for Gaza, as the temperatures fall and rain continues,
@Princeton
admin refuses still to allow our strikers to have tents, leaving them huddled under umbrellas, vulnerable and unsafe. Shameful and cruel.

On May 25, we blocked Princeton’s disgusting and ostentatious display (the P-rade) of school pride during genocide, days before Israel would burn Palestinians alive in Rafah.
We do not honor the foot soldiers of American empire. We honor every martyr lost to the occupation.
Shameful Princeton students rush to stop a MEMORIAL DAY parade after spotting American flags coming towards them.
Hundreds of activists charged onto the road and sat down while shouting “Free Palestine” at the parade marchers who were honoring fallen service members & veterans.

NOT ONE TENT on campus but a bunch of v menacing looking vehicles! If you support our free speech so much VP Calhoun, why preempt the policing and detention of your students? Who do you serve? Who do you protect?
hmm if *we* were admins attempting to make sure everyone can safely + freely express themselves at the university they pay tuition to attend, *we* simply wouldn't dangle a "suspension, delay of a diploma, or expulsion". But no worries, we're sure no bad intentions to censor here!

Hear from Achinthya and Hassan: “We are accountable for the lives of Palestinian people because our money and our resources are going there right now … people have to listen. We don’t have any more time! We need to be loud and bold with our voices.”
These Princeton PhD and master’s students were arrested, barred from campus, evicted and cannot graduate – just because they protested in solidarity with Palestinians.

We expanded on over 20 years of organizing for divestment at Princeton, we reminded them of Princeton’s history of expedited divestment in the case of Darfur in 2006, and we emphasized Israel’s ongoing genocide against Gaza and occupation of Palestine since 1948 again and again

At the end of the meeting, we committed to sending them a formal, written proposal for divestment and dissociation endorsed by a broad coalition of the Princeton community

We showed decisively that we meet CPUC’s criteria of sustained campus interest, central university values of human rights and scholarship at stake, and deliberative campus consensus

We said that more than 35,000 lives lost is not just a number. We read the names of every university destroyed by Israel in Gaza. We stressed the urgency of the issue; that there is no time for deliberation, that the processes MUST change in response to this catastrophe

Rather than engage honestly w/ the community at CPUC, Eisgruber + his admin hugely limited seating, filibustered taking audience q’s until the last 25 mins, and sidestepped any acknowledgement of Palestinian genocide. Still, despite their efforts, we showed up in seas of dissent.

Though several Princeton departments have neglected to circulate the info for this year’s Edward Said ‘57 Memorial Lecture on their listservs, they won’t coerce our absence. Today, McCosh 10, 4:30pm, we’ll see you there.

Modeled after generations of student organizers in the 70s and 80s who upended the university's support of South Africa's apartheid regime, the Princeton Divestment Campaign coheres around the singular aim of total university divestment from Israel.

in addition to their substantial undercount of the # of divest disrupters, this fails to mention how Eisgruber’s administration staged the room to limit audience seating, packed the halls full of cops, and surveilled the space, creating an impossibly undemocratic environment 🤷♀️🤷♂️
In response to a petition for the University to divest from companies associated with “Israel’s ongoing military campaign,” President Eisgruber said at a CPUC meeting that student consensus was needed for a U. decision. Reporting by Miriam Waldvogel.

Eisgruber has therefore made it shamefully clear to us today that the "values" of the university and its moral obligations do not extended to Palestinians. We will not rest until this injustice is made right and Princeton divests from Israel.
