Students at Miami University in Oxford, OH are taking up the fight for Palestinian lives. We stand with the students of Columbia, UNC, and all those organizing against genocide. ๐ค

The Ohio Student Association stands firmly with student protesters and against Israel's genocide. We are appalled by the repression of student voices on campuses across the country. (1/)
๐ชง Ohio students showing up at Statehouse against HB151! Ohio students understand that real intellectual diversity means having all kinds of students represented in the classroom and being able to talk about important, meaningful concepts honestly. Not being silenced!
Students seek to compel the university to overturn its suspension of CWRUโs Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, honor Resolution 31-15โs overwhelmingly student supported student government mandate to divest, and rescind its support of the Israeli Occupation of Palestine.
We also just think it's funny how the same legislators (looking at you Jerry Cirino) who threw a tantrum about "free speech on campus" are nowhere to be found when the free speech rights of students are *ACTUALLY* being trampled. Free speech rights for who, Jerry??
CWRU is hosting an open house of 1000+ prospective and admitted students, along with parents, alumni, and speakers. Students are conducting a โdie-inโ demonstration to disrupt the open house.
Especially in a state where the Kent State shootings of anti-war protesters took place in 1968, you might expect universities to do better and simply not arrest and brutalize their students, but apparently not.

Some of the things that come to mind...
1๏ธโฃ fairly drawn districts and the end of gerrymandering so that our leaders accurately represent Ohio voters
2๏ธโฃ Greater inclusion and engagement of young people in political conversations
3๏ธโฃ To take steps against voter suppression
We see you and we see every university administrator who is currently choosing to double down on remaining complicit in genocide by villainizing and inflicting state brutality on student protesters. Y'all are the bad guys and history will remember.
Students from across Ohio holding a funeral for higher education rally at the statehouse. ๐ฃ๐ชงโ Students have OVERWHELMINGLY come out against this bill because it would make higher ed more restrictive, more costly, and less supportive of students.
#SayNoToSB83
WE WON ISSUES 1&2! ๐ฅณ Young Ohioans have once again proven their ability to drive real change and make their voices heard---leading to the passing of both issue one and two, protecting abortion and legalizing cannabis.
๐จ THIS WEDNESDAY! Ohio students are holding a funeral for higher education at a statehouse rally, bringing attention to how SB83 would cripple our education system and harm students--- AKA the death of higher ed as we know it.

๐ฃ TOMORROW @ 1PM! What are the issues Black students face? How can institutions better serve their needs? The Ohio Black Student Equity Report, the most comprehensive to date of its kind, will be released during Thursday's press conference.
Register here:
"During Kent State's annual May 4 commemoration, a group of about 100 students also held a silent protest against Senate Bill 83, followed by a march to Oscar Ritchie Hall, which houses the Department of Africana Studies."
According to information obtained Friday, university spokesperson Ben Johnson said once the troopers began using force on the students around 10 p.m., the state troopers on the roof switched to long-range firearms as part of their protocol.
