EVERYONE COME TO 222 RICHMOND STREET TO TELL THE BROWN CORPORATION BOARD OF COWARDS THAT BROWN MUST DIVEST NOW 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
The 41 Brown students arrested in the December sit-in received a not-guilty filing from the Providence judiciary on May 14. They will not be charged, despite Brown’s refusal to drop the trespassing charges against them.
Our movement today exists only at the tip of a long history of student resistance to militarism at Brown. From Vietnam to Palestine, may we act against imperialist violence and liberate all oppressed peoples🇵🇸🇵🇸
#OTD April 23, 1967, film crews from @NBC10 recorded a press conference given by Martin Luther King at @BrownUniversity in Providence. King spoke out against the Vietnam War, & made a call to abolish the draft & "disarm the world." Here's the footage from @RIHistory archives.
IMPORTANT RALLY TODAY AT 12!! We keep us safe. This movement requires a strong community and people power to succeed. We are asking all Brown and broader community members who wish to support the encampment to attend our rally at 12pm tomorrow!
Support Brown's Gaza solidarity encampment! gofund.me/547542da
Everyone in support of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment's cause is welcome to join us on the Main Green.
Today we heard from former Rhode Island state senator, Cynthia Mendes, who led Brown’s Gaza solidarity encampment and supporters in a protest song, which was recently sung by a student at Emory University who was brutally arrested for partaking in the encampment.
We want President Christina Paxson to know: we have community on our side! Celebrating the BUCC win!
Last night at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, students joined for a night of celebration to observe the third night of Passover. Drawing on a rich Freedom Seder tradition, we performed ritual, read poetry, discussed the meaning of collective liberation, sang, and broke matzah✡️🇵🇸
CAMPAIGN WIN‼️The Brown University Community Council voted to pass 2 resolutions: one allowing students to make the case for divestment before the Brown Corporation meeting in May and one recommending that the University drop all charges against the BDC 41🇵🇸🇵🇸
Footage from the Gaza Solidarity Encampment🇵🇸 We condemn Brown's use of repressive tactics to prevent peaceful student protest. We won't be deterred by their intimidation tactics of random ID sweeps and threatening disciplinary action. Come to the main green now to support‼️
The encampers’ demands: divest now and drop the charges. Hear from Joe about why all of these students are demanding an end to institutional complicity in genocide and an end to student repression on campus.
