Green Left

In just over a month since the first Palestine solidarity encampment was set up at Columbia University, more than 140 encampments were established across the United States and internationally, including at 13 campuses in Australia.

Green Left spoke to student organisers Cyn Huang and Daniil Sapunkov, members of Young Democratic Socialists of America, and Amey from San Francisco State University Students for Gaza, where students won open-bargaining and forced the university administration to concede on demands for disclosure and divestiture from arms companies and companies that support Israel's genocide in Gaza.

They also discuss how the student movement in solidarity with Palestine will progress over the summer break, and the impact of this wave of student organising on labour struggles, the organised left and the 2024 presidential elections.

Students at more than 100 universities around the world have set up Gaza solidarity encampments demanding their universities cut ties with apartheid Israel and weapons companies that are supporting the genocide in Gaza.

The first encampment was set up at Columbia University in New York and quickly spread across the United States and internationally as the university administration called the police, who arrested more than 100 students in a brutal crackdown. 

Green Left’s Isaac Nellist, Jacob Andrewartha and Chloe DS spoke to three students, Cyn Huang (University of California, Berkeley), Daniil Sapunkov (City University of New York, Hunter College) and Amey (San Francisco State University), members of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) who have been involved in establishing solidarity encampments about the lessons learned from building the encampments, the impact of the police repression and how to build the movement.
