UPDATE:
We have canceled our April 25th issue launch and party at the Barnard library in support of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment and the call for an academic boycott of Columbia University and Barnard College. We support the courageous student movement for Palestine and their demands for Columbia to financially divest from Israel and end their partnership with Tel Aviv University. We condemn the attempts made by the Columbia and Barnard administrations to intimidate students through tactics including suspension, eviction, and arrest. The steadfast resolve of students and their supporters in the face of repression makes more clear everyday the violent irrelevancy of these compromised institutions for anything beyond profit, discipline, and death.
Encampments are spreading nationally. The students will not be moved. Palestine will be free.
