In a bold move to defend the right to protest for Palestine, 48 thousand workers at 10 universities in California voted to strike. The decision was made after students protesting against the Zionist aggression in Gaza were attacked and demands were ignored by the university administration.
The university workers’ union’s vote to strike on Monday is seen as a historic step that could inspire other unions and labor federations to support students’ rights to protest for the Palestinian cause.
Following the strike announcement, high schools in Wisconsin and Illinois joined the movement, staging protests during school hours to demand an end to the violence in Gaza. This comes after the University of California changed its policies on freedom of expression and discrimination regarding pro-Palestinian speeches.
As the momentum grows, it is clear that the fight for justice in Palestine is gaining support across educational institutions in the United States.
