The United States and Israel are committing a genocide against the Palestinian people. Our university and the UC system are complicit in this genocide through investments in companies that fund the Israeli war machine.
With over 11,000 Palestinians martyred and no ceasefire in sight, we encourage you all to NOT buy anything from UC Berkeley affiliated stores or dining halls.
Stand in solidarity with us by practicing BDS and demanding this institution divests from weapons manufacturers that arm Israel. With BDS is how we shut down the war machine
On Thursday Nov 16th at 12:30, we will be at the Campanile steps to honor our martyrs. We encourage you all to join us.

Stand in solidarity with San Leandro 4 Ceasefire, the Social Justice Academy, and Justice 4 Steven Taylor to demand that the San Leandro Mayor and City Council protect the sanctity of life and pass an Emergency Ceasefire Resolution🍉 We, the youth of the social Justice Academy of San Leandro have made it our duty to pass a ceasefire resolution in the city of San Leandro. Though our first council meeting in December 4th proved unsuccessful, the community engagement and people power was undeniable. We are hoping to pass an emergency ceasefire resolution December 18th and pack out our city hall with as many people as we can.

San Franciscans are saying LOUD AND CLEAR that we stand for and with a #FREEPALESTINE. It’s time for DA Jenkins to end her frivolous prosecution of the #BayBridge78 NOW. In December, the #BayBridge78 appeared in court to face the 390 criminal charges that DA Jenkins is pursuing against them for protesting genocide. Nearly a month later, these bizarre and indefensible charges for civil disobedience have STILL not been dropped! The genocide in Gaza continues while DA Jenkins squanders our public funds on right wing political posturing.
Can you amplify the call to drop the charges and demand a ceasefire now?
