After 25 days, the

The fight is far from over! This camp was just one tactic & we will continue struggling for a

statement and has released its own statement to say students "should face no reprimands or suspensions" and that their demands "should be heard and taken seriously."
Read it here:
Five students have remained locked to the pillars of Alareer Hall over the weekend and have been completely abandoned and ignored by UO admin.

‼️ The ASUO (Associated Students of the University of Oregon) Senate passed a resolution yesterday calling for the protection of students' rights to free speech following the administration's response to the
#GazaSolidarityEncampment
‼️ (1/3)
Today is Nakba Remembrance Day and we held a silent march to commemorate the displacement & death of more than 750,000 Palestinians and the massacring of 5 towns in 1948.
However, the Nakba continues today, it is a catastrophic ongoing process that we denounce today & every day.
During our vigil for Palestinian martyrs who have been killed before, during, and after the Nakba, we honored them through Muslim and Jewish prayers and we placed flags in the lawn in front of Johnson Hall.
Each of the flags represents 100 Palestinians lost.
#FreePalestine
🇵🇸🇵🇸
UO has made no movement on our demands, has refused to issue a ceasefire statement, and continues to threaten students with academic sanctions.
Please take a few minutes to write to the UO admin and tell them that we all demand divestment from genocide!

Please read and share this statement by
@uoregonfsjp
, UO Jewish Voices for Peace and the Eugene chapter of
@jvplive
, on
#antisemitism
.
They jointly "reject any potential criticism that the goals of the solidarity encampment are inherently antisemitic."
With many conversations happening on UO campus right now about what antisemitism is and how it impacts our community, we felt called to provide this statement. A huge thank you to the individuals and groups who collaborated on this!
We want to give a big thank you to everyone for all the love and support you have shown us!
