Criminalizing the Right to Dissent for Palestine and Cross-Movement Solidarity [Hybrid]

DESCRIPTION

Sponsored by the NLG Palestine Subcommittee and Palestine Legal.

Since October 7, the Palestine solidarity movement has endured attacks at unprecedented levels. We’ve seen attempts to stifle Palestinian activism through legislation, the criminalization of campus encampments/protests, employment repercussions, harassment and discrimination, and more. Tactics used against the Palestine liberation movement are the same ones historically deployed against other social justice movements, namely #StopCopCity, the struggle for Indigenous sovereignty, and the movement for Black lives. This panel will highlight the importance of building cross-movement solidarity and ways to fight against repression as we continue to move toward collective liberation.
