In solidarity with hunger strikers for palestine across the world, an autonomous group is currently hunger striking in New York City in front of the UN with plans on expanding the strike to include creative workshops, communal dialogue, and material support for the hunger strikers. The NYC strikers are supporting and amplifying the demands of the strikers in Jordan on day 13 of their hunger strike. We call on all community organizers, artists, and comrades to help us hold down this fight and collaborate with us in creating a meaningful space. The strikers are all autonomous individuals, mainly made up of healthcare workers in solidarity with palestine. At the moment people are starting to come in everyday from 2pm onwards to build support for the strikers until Friday the 15th.

NYPD brutalizes, arrests, and hospitalizes multiple protestors, including WOL Leader Abdullah Akl. Following months of barbaric brutality from the NYPD, we demand: 1. The resignation of Eric Adams 2. The disbandment of the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group 3. Shut down NYPD’s office in occupied Palestine wolpalestine.com/adamsresign

The CUNY Gaza Solidarity Encampment stands in firm solidarity with Within Our Lifetime, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and the Palestine movement at large in our anti-zionist and anti-normalization stance. We know that it is the Palestinian resistance, not zionist American politicians, who will liberate Palestine. *We reject any attempts to paint principled anti-zionism as fringe, when the thawabet are mainstream within the Palestine movement.* As PYM stated, "The so-called 'progressives' of the Democratic party, from AOC to Bowman to Sanders, are complicit in this genocide: from endorsing Biden, to voting to send money to the Zionist entity, to smearing Palestinian [orgs] and conflating anti-Zionism w/ anti-semitism." This is why the CUNY GSE refused to platform politicians at our encampment. The movement is not beholden to Democratic politicians who hedge on genocide, and we will not be scolded for our dissent.

Thank you to the Palestinian Youth Movement for taking a principled stance in support of WOL as we have faced attacks from Biden, local politicians and even self-proclaimed allies for our firm stance against zionism, normalization, and the genocide of our people. As the contradictions of half-hearted solidarity continue to arise, we see who stands with Palestine. We will continue to push the movement forward until every inch of Palestine is free from the river to the sea. We are not making concessions to politicians, we are fighting for the liberation of our people.

📣FLOOD NYC THIS FRIDAY TO LAUNCH THE SUMMER OF RESISTANCE TODAY, Friday 6/21, the first day of Summer marks the launch of the Summer of Resistance Campaign as called for by Black Revolutionaries in Atlanta by flooding NYC for Gaza. The march begins at Hunter College at 5 pm. With the Zionist Entity's continued aggression both in Gaza and Southern Lebanon as well as Eric Adam's proposed Cop City in Queens our task becomes even clearer, disrupt, destroy, and bring down every single Zionist and Imperialist system in the US. We call on all revolutionary and progressive forces in NYC to attend the march and take collective and disruptive action on your own. As we said before, our task is clear.
