2012-2013 SJP Events
Palestine Awareness Week
During 8th week of winter quarter, SJP held Palestine Awareness Week - a series of actions and events designed to educate the community about the Palestinian struggle for justice and equal rights. During the day we used displays of a mock wall and street theater of a checkpoint to illustrate the realities of life under occupation for Palestinians. During the evening talks, we focused on understanding the apartheid analogy, making connections to other struggles against racism and oppression, and examining what we as UCLA students can do to support Palestinian rights.
See video from the wall and checkpoint.
Listen to audio from the Justice is Universal talk, featuring Saree Makdisi, David Shorter, and Robin DG Kelley, and see the video of the event below:
