A Message from the Faculty Staff Union Executive Committee

5/18/2021

Dear Member,

As faculty members and librarians committed to the work of transforming UMass Boston into an antiracist and health-promoting institution, we want to urge you to support our campus' Students for Justice in Palestine, which is co-sponsoring today's Day of Action in Solidarity with the Palestinians (Copley Square, 5 p.m.).  This Day of Action and General Strike was called for by Palestinians as one element of their ongoing anti-apartheid and decolonial liberation movement in response to the violence inflicted by the State of Israel in Jerusalem and Gaza. 

As committed scholars, teachers, and labor activists committed to social justice, we stand with our brave and committed students as they continue to energize the work of binding us all in solidarity.
