To our comrades at Northeastern University,
We here at American University have heard about the unfortunate news regarding Northeastern University’s unprecedented attack on academic freedom and student activism. It is with great sadness that we’ve learned that Northeastern University has taken the draconian step of suspending Students for Justice in Palestine at Northeastern, showing their complete disregard to basic rights of free speech and assembly.
As fellow activists for the cause against imperialism and oppression, we very much admire the work that SJP at Northeastern University has done, highlighting the plight of the oppressed in an environment that has become increasingly hostile. Nevertheless, we fully believe that our triumph is inevitable. Much like how colonialism, imperialism, and apartheid are now rightfully condemned, the inhumane policies conducted by the State of Israel will likewise be swept into the dustbin of history.
At this critical juncture of the struggle, we are glad that the students at Northeastern University are taking a stand against institutional intimidation. We fully believe that in time, SJP will be vindicated for their courage to fight for the equality and justice in Palestine.
With best wishes,
American University Students for Justice in Palestine
