Dear Peer Ship Mates, I intended to send this newsletter on May 1st, 2024 for May Day and before the UCLA crackdown, but I don't think it went through. (Please disregard the previous message if so, as this is the new updated version). 2024 is a big year of change. With the current events at UCLA in regards to Palestine, I want to be clear that I wholeheartedly stand with the pro-Palestinian peaceful encampment and I was protesting with the students the horrific night of the sweeps. Given that our class was on social change, it should come to no surprise that pushing for change is not easy. And the police brutality at UCLA on the terrible night of 5/1 was a reminder of that. Nonetheless, with the genocide still occuring in Gaza, and the mass media and UCLA administration falsely presenting the police crackdown at UCLA done in the name of "student safety," we must continue to sail 2024ward for liberation for all. other section After Zionist agitators attacked the pro-peace/Palestine UCLA student encampment with fireworks, tear gas, and bricks earlier this week, instead of protecting students and persecuting the violent agitators, the chancellor decided to send in 500 police in riot gear to tear down the peaceful encampment the very next night. I stand with my fellow Asian American Studies faculty members and condemn the blatant disregard for student safety by UCLA Administration in favor of upholding its own reputation and choosing to stand with Israel over its own students, staff, and faculty while perpetuating genocide and settler-colonialism.
