"One ASA section chair said that the resolution promotes antisemitism this is libelous, yes we didn't address antisemitism, but we didn't call out islamophobia and racism either, not because we condone any of it but because we're focused on one thing: Ceasefire." @RoiLivne

Listen to Claire Decoteau explain her support for the @soc4pal Resolution: "As a sociologist who studies structures of inequality, as a global scholar and as a parent, I cannot stand silently by and watch the slaughter of the Palestinian people." VOTE NOW! Two days left!

As a trans crip sociologist my own liberation can’t be separated from the eradication of white colonial violence. And you know what taught me that idea — the interlocking, inseparable reality of our struggles? Sociology. 🇵🇸♿️🏳️‍⚧️

we—former presidents of the American Sociological Association—endorse the member Resolution for Justice in Palestine now on the ASA ballot." We were overjoyed to see that the list includes the vast majority of this century's ASA presidents. Check it out for yourself:

In addition, Council will clarify our longstanding investment strategy and develop a regular cycle on which the strategy will be evaluated. Council will announce its decision and provide more detail about ASA’s investment strategy to the full membership in the coming months. 6/

It is unacceptable that you won’t call out the genocide and scholasticide in Gaza. This is at your doorstep, happening to your students, who are bravely standing for Palestine in ways you won’t. Speak up.

It's not unprecedented for Council to take seriously where our $ goes, in the case of South Africa, the Council agreed that South African companies would be divested from. It's happened before, I don't see why it can't happen again. Seems like basic democratic accountability..

We call on the ASA Council to act now! Condemn the attacks on student and faculty protesters by police, vigilantes, and university administrators. Demand respect for academic freedom and freedom of expression on our campuses. Support our right to peaceful protest. 8/

We were all so grateful to hear from you. I hope you'll be pleased to learn that the Council will take steps to further reduce our already low exposure to weapons manufacturing companies, which includes the 18 companies that you noted. 5/

This statement is disappointing not only because it is unwilling to recognize the ongoing genocide or call for an end to the killing, but also because it comes after 125 sociologists, including six former ASA presidents, sent a letter & proposed a draft statement to the ASA...
