National Lawyers Guild Webinar: Repression and Dissent of the Palestinian Solidarity Movement in the in the United States

For years, lawmakers have been staging unprecedented attacks on racial and social justice advocacy, passing anti-boycott laws designed to silence those working for an equitable future.
The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) is hosting an urgent and timely conversation for NLG members examining one specific thread of this repression; namely the growing protest movement in the United States against the Israeli government’s war on Gaza. Despite widespread political support in the U.S. for Israel, there is a rising wave of activists demanding an immediate ceasefire and advocating for Palestinian rights. This movement, however, is being met with significant repression, including:
Expulsion from universities
Job losses
Doxxing
Arrests and police violence
Leading this conversation are senior staff attorney with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, Brian Hauss, Just Vision’s Outreach Associate and journalist from Gaza, Fadi Abu Shammalah, Cal Poly Humboldt Professor, Gabi Kirk, and union organizer, Matteo Hintz, with moderation by Just Vision’s Education and Communications Specialist, Daniel Nerenberg.
