The Popular University Wire: From Princeton to Palestine continues political and cultural education work that developed at the Princeton encampment and built on student campaigns from the past two decades. Our writers and editors are Princeton students, alumni, and community members who coalesced through Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest, aligned against a persistent dearth of political and cultural education on Princeton’s campus and in the Princeton orbit at large. In doing so, we recognize ourselves as the ‘outside agitators,’ who are never truly so ‘outside.’ We aim to agitate, not as an end in itself, as the bad-faith use of the term implies, but rather to agitate readers to defy and deconstruct. The political education practice of deconstruction, after all, is also a process of constructing anew.

LEARN WITH US. CREATE WITH US.

Princeton University is continuing its campaign of repression. If Princeton Public Safety, Princeton Police, or university administration requests to speak with you regarding your or someone else’s engagement in student activism, decline to speak and contact PIAD.

Princeton University still refuses to call for the

Princeton University still refuses to call for the dismissal of legal charges against our students for protesting genocide. The University, the municipal prosecutor’s office, and the clearly prejudiced court held the line that these students were in violation of the law by trespassing on their own campus. The court and the prosecutor refused to consider a motion to dismiss.

PIAD stands by the students, will continue to fight for a case dismissal, and urges Princeton to call on the municipal prosecutor to drop the charges.

While these students have been disciplined, Israel has carried out a genocide for over 11 months. And Princeton has continued to profit.

No rest until divest, until a free Palestine.

Students found these posters on campus outside Spe

Students found these posters on campus outside Spelman Halls earlier today. These are the people who are against divestment from Israeli apartheid, free to spread deeply racist, violent, and dehumanizing calls for genocide.

Princeton University treated our concerns with total nonchalance. It is clear that the university does not take violent language and genocidal hate speech seriously when it comes to Palestinians.

The movement for Palestinian liberation has been demonized as violent, dangerous, and hateful. Princeton has refused to drop the charges against our students and instituted extremely repressive “protest guidelines” while the violence against Palestinians goes completely unanswered. This is why we must not rest until Palestine is free!

Last month, Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest (@princetondivestnow) submitted a detailed divestment proposal to the Resources Committee of the Council of Princeton University Community (CPUC), which makes financial recommendations to the University’s Board of Trustees.

On June 19, 2024, Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest submitted a divestment proposal to the Council of the Princeton University Community Resources Committee. Our community will continue to organize until the University meets our demands.

We are a diverse group of students, faculty, staff, community organizers, and alumni. 32 organizations have endorsed our proposal. We recognize that immediate divestment is necessary.”

Slide 4/7: Green background with the words: “ISRAEL HAS VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS.

🇵🇸 ESCALATE FOR RAFAH! DISRUPT FOR GAZA! 🇵🇸

We have shown each other and the world that we are not a moment — we are a MOVEMENT! We refuse to stand aside while the apartheid Zionist entity commits genocide against Rafah, Gaza, and Palestine with American weapons and Princeton University’s money. Our actions over the last month were just the beginning. The student intifada is here to stay. We heed the call to escalate. We urge you to take action from campus to the streets, to disrupt all parts of everyday life until Palestine is free.

WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL DIVEST. 🇵🇸❤️

TRAGIC ACCIDENT, GENOCIDE DENIAL

Good morning Princeton! Looks like an autonomous group has reminded us all of the blood on the University’s hands. Seems like it would be nice a backdrop for end-of-year photos, make sure to stop by!

🚨URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED🚨 Princeton has infor

🚨URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED🚨

Princeton has informed two seniors that the University is withholding their degrees for walking out of President Eisgruber’s speech on May 25th. ALTHOUGH DOZENS OF STUDENTS, ALUMNI, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS PARTICIPATED, PRINCETON IS TARGETING TWO BLACK MEN.

CALL AND EMAIL THE PRINCETON ADMIN TO SAY LET THEM GRADUATE AT bit.ly/letthemgraduate ‼️

📍 May 25, 2024: Princeton Reunions Day of Actio

📍 May 25, 2024: Princeton Reunions Day of Action for Gaza.

🇵🇸 In the morning, over 50 people disrupted President Eisgruber’s town hall, raising red hands in silent protest of Princeton’s bloody hands and walking out. One alum was arrested — and another dearrested — for merely holding the door open as we peacefully protested outside, and was later harassed by Zionist counterprotestors.

🇵🇸 Later, over 60 people took Elm Drive at the P-rade to block the procession with a peaceful sit-in. Public safety officers and administrators swiftly and aggressively began handing out warnings of arrest, with some getting physically aggressive with protestors. We held our ground alongside the P-rade for the next four hours — breaking up the class compartmentalization comprised of current students, alumni, and faculty — chanting, distributing pins, and invoking histories from South Africa and Vietnam.

🇵🇸 In the evening, protestors dropped flags and banners demanding no donations until divestment in the Princeton stadium. As fireworks lit up our skies, our dollars fund the airstrikes lighting up Gaza’s skies.

🇵🇸 Near midnight, a group of us marched from Nassau to Eisgruber’s residence to ensure he heard us loud and clear that we won’t let him rest until Princeton divests.

🔥 These are in addition to the autonomous actions alumni and community members took — from dying the SPIA fountain red and writing on its walls in red “pretty town, bloody gown,” to buying and distributing kuffiyahs in solidarity and mass demonstration.

❗️ We’ll be back.
