In solidarity with Palestinians, and our comrades on the frontlines at People’s Park and across Turtle Island, we will be reading Why the State Can’t Compromise with the Movement in Solidarity with Gaza from Crimethinc and Enclosures of Possibility: The University & The Encampment from UBC. We ask folks to read these pieces ahead of time.
Why the State Can’t Compromise with the Movement in Solidarity with Gaza is available as screen or imposed zine PDF.
Since the end of the Second World War, genocide has been understood as the clearest example of absolute evil. “Never again!” has been held up as a moral imperative. Although the United States has used this narrative cynically on numerous occasions to justify military intervention, it nonetheless expressed the laudable judgment of people of conscience everywhere.
The current conflict amounts to this: either the United States empire must be dismantled or the conscience of a whole generation will be destroyed.
Enclosures of Possibility: The University & The Encampment is available as screen or imposed zine PDF.
Enclosures of Possibility will give us a local, “Canadian” context to compliment the Crimethinc piece.
We will be meeting at People’s Park at The Quad at UVIC on June 2nd at 7PM. (unceded Lekwungen Territory). More information about People’s Park can be found on their Linktree or Instagram. People’s Park asks that all participants follow Camp Guidelines and Demands before entry.
