We demand that our money and our tuition stop being used to fund the genocide, occupation and apartheid of the Palestinian people. This event is being coordinated by the SUNY BDS Steering Committee, UAlbany students and local Albany organizations. SUNY BDS background/ who we are: We are a group of undergraduate students, graduate students, alumni, faculty and staff members from across the SUNY system, committed to supporting the fight for Palestinian liberation by bringing an end to SUNY’s relationship with the state of Israel. Our goal is to develop a SUNY-wide Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement that reaches across all 64 SUNY campuses. Through this coalition, we will work toward a variety of goals, including ending recruitment to major weapons manufacturing companies, divesting endowments and pensions from funds that support Israel, and implementing cultural boycotts of Israeli universities and academics and economic boycotts of organizations that profit from and perpetrate the genocide. SUNY BDS is Proudly not affiliated with SUNY or NYS. For more information on SUNY BDS: https://sunybds.wordpress.com/, April 28, 12:30 pm, 158 Union Turnpike (Ri
