SJP Chicago — and SJP collectives all across the nation — are doing great things. Please consider helping them take their work to the next level. In the past two weeks alone, student organizers in Chicago actively challenged institutionalized suppression of academic freedom and hosted Professor Salaita whose professorship was stripped for his stance on Palestine and Israel. SJP members at Loyola University Chicago were put under temporary suspension and investigated for no clear reason after students tabling for the anti-Palestinian Birthright organization complained of ‘emotional distress’ following a peaceful and creative demonstration coordinated by concerned students. In addition, SJP organizers and local community members have banded together to express their solidarity with protesters in Ferguson through scheduled events, city-wide actions, and an upcoming trip to the city of Ferguson where they expect to literally add their voices to those condemning police brutality.
