SUNY BDS strongly condemns the NYS use of masking to push back and punish Pro-Palestine protestors and demonstrators.
Banning masks from public spaces is a targeted attack to ensure successful surveillance at the expense of immunocompromised individuals.
At Stony Brook at least a hundred officers from the local county, state troopers AND campus police forcefully arrested 29 student, faculty & community members. Students and faculty were suspended. Phones confiscated by police. Students not allowed to return to their dorms. SHARE!
SUNY BDS campuses are uniting!!!

On April 15th, we joined the hundreds of demonstrations that were staged on Tax Day. SUNY BDS was first formed through Zoom calls between a handful of SUNY faculty and students and has now grown to a nationwide movement calling for divestment from the Palestinian genocide.
🚨‼️ SAVE THE DATE ‼️🚨
On April 15th, SUNY students, faculty, alumni, and community will join forces and rally in Albany to demand divestment from the SUNY system and NYS. We demand that our money and tuition no longer go to the genocide of the Palestinian people. See you there

SUNY BDS is not affiliated with SUNY or the State of New York.
We remain steadfast in our fight for Palestinian liberation. We refuse to remain silent as students, professors, faculty, alumni, and community members when our tuition and tax money are aiding and abetting in this genocide.
SUNY is complicit in this genocide through its funding of study abroad programs, partnerships with companies that manufacture the genocide, and the suspension and arrests of pro-Palestine students on their campuses.
Join us this Tuesday for our most riveting session yet!
