The article discusses the response of students at City College to heavy police intervention during a Gaza solidarity encampment. Dan West, a PhD candidate, observed indiscriminate arrests made by the NYPD on April 30, which motivated him to engage in labor organizing and student governance. Following these events, West and his coalition, which included CUNY for Palestine, won a majority in the Doctoral and Graduate Student Council. They adopted a resolution supporting the encampment's demands, demonstrating a commitment to advocating for justice and raising awareness of ongoing issues in Palestine.
The NYPD and Adams's spectacle was indifferent to a target. Many supporters were arrested indiscriminately, raising concerns about police conduct during peaceful protests.
We want to carry that memory forward with us, especially as the genocide has dragged and dragged. It is important that we address these issues as a community.
