student organizations all lending their support to these efforts. These young brothers and sisters

are putting their academic careers on the

line. People are putting their livelihood on the line. And yes, they're putting their safety on the line

because these people are facing the full weight of media suppression, of political suppression,

and we are seeing these heartbreaking scenes play out on our screens across the country,

where once again there's the Palestine exception, where standing for the rights of Palestinians

immediately takes what would otherwise be deemed a noble effort and turns it into a vilified one.

We need all of our communities to stand up. We need every single institution

providing financial support. That means providing bail money. That means providing moral support.
