Friends, please amplify and pay attention to the police raid and violence happening right now at CCNY alongside Columbia. Shame on Félix V. Matos Rodríguez for sanctioning the NYPD to hurt our @cuny students.
RIGHT NOW. Columbia University’s lockdown & faculty lockout by our administration as NYPD moves in. In this way, no one will be able to see the brutality against our students.
CHICAGO: I am coming to your fair city for three events in mid-May. Hope to see you there!
1) Talking Stayed in Freedom with Elizabeth Todd-Breland PilsenCommunityBooks on May 14 pilsencommunitybooks.com/events/20240514
my partner MJ Kaufman mentored Ahmed (28) through We Are Not Numbers - now we're fundraising to help evacuate his immediate family from Gaza, including his two nieces, Sumaya, who is 10 months old, and Huda, who is 5. Please donate if you're able.
