Among those arrested in Atlanta today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. You can hear her ask the PhD student taking the video:
“Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I’ve been arrested?...I’m Noelle McAfee, I’m Chair of the Philosophy Department”

Hello everyone!
Currently, in Atlanta, GA in the USA, students are being forcibly removed and arrested from the Emory College campus doing peaceful, protest encampment for the people in Gaza who are being massacred every single day.
Police are using tear gas, rubber bullets, and tasers to violently remove unarmed students from campus. Students are being revoked of their right to protest.
I've lived in Georgia my whole life. Police brutality is incredibly common here, and it is unfortunate & not surprising that it is happening, especially in Atlanta (where it's known to be cop central in the state).
Please, if you can help, donate, or share, that would be amazing. Please help these students be free so they can continue to help the people of Gaza, and rightfully protest (as it's their right to do so).
Thank you, Emory students for using your right to speak against the massacre in Gaza. I am with you.
