SJP @ TMU

Yesterday, October 24, I was suspended as a Board Member from @CJPME. This organization, which is led by two white men @thomaswoodley1 & @mbueckert presents itself as the largest Palestine solidarity group in "Canada" while silencing & punishing dissenting Palestinian voices. 1/

@sasa_ghada solidarity w you always 🇵🇸♥️

LAST CALL: Canadian individuals & organizations of conscience, please sign this petition calling on Canadian MPs to RESIGN in solidarity with Palestine. I will be delivering this petition by hand to MPs early next week. #Gaza_Genocide #CeasfireNOW docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Embodying the Palestinian ethic of “sumud” (steadfastedness), Abdallah continues to engage in the very same fight he was targeted for. During his detainment, Abdallah has participated in hunger strikes in solidarity with Palestinian political prisoners inside occupation prisons.

We demand the immediate release of Georges Abdallah and Saleh Hamouri, and call for an end to Zionist administrative detention! Political prisoners—whether they be in Zionist or French jails—are on the frontlines of the Palestinian struggle and we must always amplify their cause.

TKARONTO: Join us Sat., Oct. 22 @ 1PM @ Yonge-Dundas Sq. calling for an end to Zionist administrative detention, solidarity with Georges Abdallah, a Lebanese political prisoner detained in France since 1984 for resistance against Zionism, and to rise up with our people in Shufat!

We, the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), call upon all supporters of the Palestinian struggle to join us on October 14th - 23rd for a week of action in support of Palestinian political prisoners and their fight for freedom and dignity.

No Pride in Genocide.

It’s been months and #SheikhJarrah is still under attack every single day by israeli forces. The residents of Sheikh Jarrah have been resisting for months to save their own homes. Months. Every single day.

We are free & unafraid. They cannot intimidate us. Thousands of Palestinians are still incarcerated by the occupation, including Silwan's Zuhair Rajaby. Our experience with arrest is but a small dot in the ocean of their sacrifices. Free them all. #SaveSilwan #SaveSheikhJarrah

"bring our children home" in Toronto, at X University

No peace on stolen land!

HAPPENING RIGHT NOW ON CAMPUS:

CALL FOR SUPPORT: Sit-in at the Egerton Ryerson Statue at X University (Ryerson University). Indigenous youth and allies will be staging a sit-in at the statue until 215 shoes have been placed.

We can't trust @RyersonU until they take meaningful action. Take down the statue + rename the school.

The news out of Kamloops this weekend shows why many of us at @RyersonU have decided to use “X University” in our signatures and social media bios. Theres no way to reconcile Egerton Ryerson’s legacy with healing or decolonization. Take the statue down. Change the name.

The only way for these words to mean anything is for the statue to come down immediately and for this place to be renamed. You can't express sorrow at the death of 215 children and continue to commemorate the man who put them there.

If you look closely at this photo, just in front of the building with the green roof, you can see a statue of the man who helped create residential schools.

If you're not sharing the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line 1-866 925-4419 in your stories then you're not practicing trauma informed reporting. I would deter readers to repost and share these stories. We all have a role in this.

(2/2) X University President Mohamed Lachemi's message to the X community this morning: ryerson.ca/news-events/ne… Take down the statue and change the name.

(1/2) Pres. Mohamed Lachemi's sent a message to the X community this morning re: Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc, but is failing Indigenous students. He says "children's lives must be honoured & grieved" yet we STILL have a statue of the architect of residential schools on campus.
