Huge turnout at Brown encampment for Gaza. Solidarity to @/BrownDivest. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The Brown Divest Coalition announced a victory this evening:

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 🇵🇸🇵🇸

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), a movement composed of campaigns and initiatives working to end the Israeli blockade of Gaza, says its aid ship bound for the enclave has been delayed from leaving Turkey. The coalition said in a statement that “All the required paperwork has been submitted to the port authority, and the cargo has been loaded and prepared for the trip to Gaza”. “However, today we received word of an administrative roadblock initiated by Israel in an attempt to prevent our departure”. “Israel is pressuring the Republic of Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from our lead ship—Akdeniz [“Mediterranean"]. This triggered a request for an additional inspection, this one by the flag state, that delays our April 26 planned departure”. The coalition said this was another “example of Israel obstructing the delivery of life-saving aid to the people in Gaza who face a deliberately created famine”, adding that it was not the first time Israel had used “these kinds of tactics to stop our ships from sailing”. Aid workers from 40 countries are due to deliver 5,000 tons of aid to Gaza using the Akdeniz.

Students at City College in Harlem, NYC have their own Gaza Solidarity Encampment. NYPD cops are here with CUNY cops likely discussing how to deal with this.

The five demands set forward by the encampment organizers are:

1) Divest from Genocide! CUNY must immediately and completely divest from companies that produce weapons and technology for zionist settler-colonial violence. Ensure accountability by publishing annual reports of CUNY's investments and contracts.  2) Academic Boycott: Ban all academic relationships with israeli universities and the zionist entity, encompassing birthright, Fullbright, and perspective trips. Ban israeli cultural groups and artists from performing at CUNY events or utilizing campus spaces. 3) IOF & NYPD off campus. NYPD, KKK, IOF they're all the same! Get them off our campuses!  4)  Solidarity with the Palestine liberation struggle / Protect CUNY Students & Workers for expressing solidarity with the Palestine Liberation Struggle: CUNY must support the internationally recognized right of colonized peoples to resist their colonizers. End repression and retaliation against Palestine organizers at CUNY. 5) Free CUNY/Fair contract: CUNY was free and fully funded for over 125 years. We demand that CUNY have its tuition free status restored to make education accessible for everyone, as well as that CUNY admin meets all the demands for a fair contract made by the Professional Staff Congress (PSC CUNY).

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

Students from several universities in the Washington Metropolitan Area have joined forces to demand their schools cut ties to Israel and for an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza. Yasmine, a student leading the protests that have grown into an encampment, says they are calling for their universities to “divest from any companies that sell weapons or technology” to Israel. They are also calling on their universities to drop all charges against students “who spoke up or students who are pro-Palestine”, Yasmine told Al Jazeera. “Many of us are … facing repression and charges and hearings from our universities for simply protesting,” she said. Many of the protesters, she added, wear masks because of the “heavy targeting and the heavy doxing … against us”. Students do expect the police to intervene later today in a bid to break up the gathering, according to Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane, reporting from Washington, DC.

The DMV Coalition of Students for Justice in Palestine explain that "while the encampment is taking place at GW, it is a space organized by students across the DMV — George Washington, George Mason, American, Georgetown, UMD, UMBC, Howard, and Gallaudet — for students across the DMV as a united demonstration of our power, uplifting our collective demands for financial transparency, boycotts and divestment from the zionist state, and an end to the racist repression [of] pro-Palestine students."
