On Ferguson

American University Students for Justice in Palestine expresses solidarity with the family of Michael Brown and the countless other families who have lost their loved ones to police brutality. We want to also express our support for protesters worldwide decrying the lack of retribution officer Wilson will receive for his actions and demanding that the world pay attention to police brutality and to our country's broken justice system.

From Ferguson to Palestine, the same systems of oppression maintain racially disparate power structures that we work to take down. We hope that everyone who's disturbed by this denial of justice joins activists everywhere calling for change. You can find a list of actions here: fergusonresponse.tumblr.com.

In cases like this, it is so important that we do not look the other way. We need to speak out against injustice everywhere. Black lives matter. Palestinian lives matter.
