Julia Holter Instagram – inspired by the students. a student at the Occidental College Gaza Solidarity Encampment asked me about political actions i knew of in my time in college. i remember watching with horror the start of Bush’s “shock and awe” that was catastrophic for the people of Iraq and we marched against the US bombardment there but no the student mobilizing wasn’t something big like this. the organization and thoughtfulness of these students is inspiring and desperately needed. as yet another genocide unfolds, brought on in large part by my own country, and as all our reps ignore our calls for ceasefire month after month, the students are speaking out in a big way that is actually resonating. and yet at UCLA and USC here in LA so many peaceful student voices are being suppressed by some at the schools themselves and police, and many violently so. what are we doing? free Palestine, ceasefire now
