This Friday at 7pm, join us for a screening of "The Encampments," organized in collaboration with our friends at Asheville Jewish Voice for Peace! This 80-minute documentary offers a ground-level view of the 2024 US campus uprising against the war on Gaza. Featuring detained activist Mahmoud Khalil, alongside professors, whistleblowers, and organizers, "The Encampments" captures the deeper stakes of a historic moment that continues to reverberate across the globe.
This event is a fundraiser for the Gaza Soup Kitchen and attendees are asked to contribute based on their ability (suggested donation $10-20, no one turned away).

(From Democracy Now !
Friday April 19th 2024)Columbia University President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik on Thursday called on New York police to forcibly clear a student occupation on the lawn of the school, which had been dubbed the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, resulting in over 100 arrests.
The protesters were demanding the Ivy League school divest from firms and institutions that profit from the Israeli occupation of Palestine, but Shafik ordered the raid a day after being questioned on Capitol Hill about ongoing pro-Palestinian protests on campus.
The move caused outrage among students and many faculty, who decried it as censorship and a violation of academic freedom.The renowned professor and presidential candidate Cornel West, chair of the Columbia-affiliated Union Theological Seminary, joined students Thursday in solidarity with their protest and told Democracy Now! they “represent the best … of the human spirit,” and lauded them for “fighting in the face of domination and occupation and subjugation, and doing it with tremendous determination.”
