From a speaker not allowed to speak at today’s YEG_PoliceCommission meeting who was brutalized by EPS on May 11th “I want to begin by expressing my disappointment that the YEG_PoliceCommission has decided not to engage face to face with the public. It is profoundly anti democratic, elitist

I’m sorry, what?!?

You folks seen Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto Police lately.

Statement of Solidarity from Members of the University of Alberta Faculty of Arts Political Science Department against the sweep of our students, colleagues, alumni and community members

'Cartmell said what happened wasn’t fair to the delegation, pointing out the police commission is made up of volunteers.'

They are all paid for their work.

For Nakba Day learn about the Nakba that never ended.

day 15 and we’re going into week 3 of the People’s Circle for Palestine!

it is so humbling and heartwarming to see the amount of community support we’ve gotten, whether it’s someone donating food or people staying at the camp overnight. this is only possible because of you ❤️❤️

“I am a Palestinian-Canadian refugee who was born, raised, and lived in Jabalia Refugee Camp in the Gaza Strip. And still my family and home are there under fire and uncertainty.”

What I've written isn't even a quarter of the nonsense University administrators put us through, but if I write all of it down it, it won't be 'digestible' for people to link what the U of A has consistently been doing.

Justice for Sam Pearson, clients, volunteers & staff 💖

SO proud of the students, faculty and community at large protesting genocide & the shameful actions of the U of A, UAPS and EPS

The harm on May 12th started in November 2023 and I want to illustrate the pattern of escalation that compares & connects UofA actions then & now

Natalie Loveless, the associate dean of equity, diversity and inclusion at the University of Alberta, has resigned from that position over the violent sweep by police of a peaceful anti-genocide protest in the U of A quad.

A society that finds victory in “conquering” a place of worship.

Please call/email your EPSB trustee today. Demand they decommission seclusion rooms.

1 in 3 kids are subject to such confinement involuntarily.

Carceral practices harm student well-being. Demand the Board fight for a more just system

Is this encampment acceptable?

All eyes on Rafah. All eyes on Gaza. There are no words that can fully describe these horrors.

its day 12 at the People’s Circle!

yesterday, admin finally agreed to talk about our demands. they were more cooperative than we expected, but don’t get your hopes up, it’s still @uoft 🫠

our press conference about the meeting will be live-streamed on instagram at 11 am!

This is not footage from yesterday in Calgary, this is dawn today in Edmonton. We denounce the brutal police attacks on both of these student encampments and stand in solidarity with the students rising with Gaza.

The names of all the universities destroyed in Gaza are on display at the University of Toronto people’s encampment.
Stop saying these students don’t know why they’re here.

Shame on the University of Calgary.

day 9 of the People’s Circle for Palestine!!

@uoft admin has still not discussed our demands with us. it took them until 1988 to divest from South African apartheid, a shameful stain on their record.

how much longer will you remain invested in zionist apartheid, meric?

University of Alberta has re-entered the chat. University of Calgary just dropped too!
🇵🇸✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼🇵🇸
Edmonton: Come support these righteous students. While our eyes stay on Rafah, demand that #UAlberta disclose, divest, and defend Gaza
