Please support my friend and colleague @Dr_mauraf, a professor steadfast in her duties to teach and educate on the histories of injustice and occupation.
We stand in solidarity with @Dr_mauraf who is the target of a campaign aiming to silence her opinion on Palestine. At a moment when a genocide is unfolding and world leaders fail to act, freedom of expression must be defended. Sign the petition! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
