Student movements in the US have historically contributed to significant societal shifts. In the 1960s and 1970s, protests against the Vietnam War mobilized a national antiwar sentiment, influencing the US military withdrawal in 1973. Recently, students have highlighted humanitarian crises in Gaza, focusing on the loss of Palestinian lives and US military support to Israel. Campus activism has surged, with demands for accountability regarding visa revocations for pro-Palestinian protestors. This activism reflects a growing sense of efficacy among students and their capability to effect change in challenging circumstances.
Students and faculty banded together to call on the federal government to account for revoking thousands of university community members' visas, largely for their participation in pro-Palestinian protests.
Campus organizing drew national attention to bombing and military attacks by Israel in Gaza that have to date taken the lives of an estimated 55,000 Palestinians.
