#UCSC: Shut it Down for #Palestine
Thursday, November 9th
10 AM-5 PM
Base of Campus
Walk out of school and work and join us. As a genocide unfolds before our eyes and as our government funnels our money directly into taking Palestinian lives, we cannot look away. No back to normal, NO BUSINESS AS USUAL.
We’ll be doing educational discussions and presentations, art, a vigil & ofrenda, and more.
BRING YOUR FRIENDS. COME EARLY AND BE THERE AS LONG AS YOU CAN. SEE YOU THERE.
Great privilege to visit the Centre for #AgroEcology in #SantaCruz earlier this week, and learn about all its great work over the last few decades, from #AlanChadwick first start-up to today’s real commitment to providing #FoodSecurity for #UCSC students as well as employment and education work with local schools. Also really good discussion around #IndigenousKnowledge#SettlerColonialism in the context of AgroEcology. Thank you!
