On the NYU Faculty Arrested on 4/22

On April 22, 2024, a group of brave New York University faculty members took a historic stand against genocide by serving as a physical line of defense to protect students anticipating arrest. The following day, NYU students and faculty walked out of class in protest of the administration’s repressive crackdown. National SJP hopes that other faculty members across Turtle Island will follow the courageous lead of the NYU faculty members who put their bodies on the line for their students. 

We further are dismayed to see that New York University has constructed a physical border around sites of popular support for anti-Zionism. All the walls will fall, free Palestine, end the genocide of Gaza, and may the students be victorious.
