✍️ TELL GWU TO STOP PUNISHING STUDENTS ✍️

This past weekend, Cecilia “CC” Culver addressed the George Washington University graduating class. As countless graduation speakers have done before her, Cecilia called on her fellow graduates to meet the moral challenges of the moment, in this case by opposing Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Rather than celebrate her courageous stance, GWU retaliated against CC, banning her from campus and launching a disciplinary investigation against her.

Demand that GWU immediately drop the investigation against CC, issue a public apology, and commit to honoring her and other students’ demands for disclosure and divestment of university funds that support Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.

💸 RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT YOUR FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS 💸

Our US tax dollars directly fund and arm the genocide of Palestinians. This activist toolkit organized by Not My Tax Dollars includes fliers, graphics, and tools to mobilize your community and spread awareness.

Make sure everyone in your community knows their tax dollars are funding these atrocities. Gather a group of friends and go to outdoor markets, community events, protests, parades, public transit stations, and other high-traffic locations to spread the message far and wide.
