*Tensions are growing on U.S. college campuses, as the pro-Palestinian demonstrations that have rocked New York-area schools in recent days — and the ensuing arrests of participants — spread from coast to coast.* Students have launched protests and encampments at more than a dozen schools across the country, from Massachusetts to Michigan to California. They are calling for an end both to the Israel-Hamas war and their universities' investment in companies that profit from it or, more broadly, do business with Israel. . . . Pro-Palestinian students at colleges in multiple states are now launching movements of their own, many as a direct response to the recent events at Columbia. Students at Northwestern University, Ohio State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Temple University, Princeton University, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and others held walkouts and rallies in support of Columbia students last week after their arrest. And others have followed suit this week. . . . *More Than 4 Dozen Unions Demand 'End of Repression' of Columbia Protests* "The right to protest is necessary for every struggle, and the direct attack on this right is an attack on labor as well," said the labor groups. "An injury to one is an injury to all." by Julia Conley, Common Dreams, April 23, 2024 *Pro-Palestinian Campus Encampments Spread Nationwide Amid Mass Arrests at Columbia, NYU & Yale* DemocracyNow!, April 23 https://www.democracynow.org/2024/4/23/columbia_university_joseph_slaughter -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
