All Out For Sudan: Student Walkout

On December 2, 2024, at 2:00 PM, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), along with several affiliated organizations, is hosting a mass student walkout for Sudan. The event will begin at the Garibaldi Statue in Washington Square Park, New York.

This protest claims to demand divestment from corporations tied to UAE military interventions and exploitation in Sudan. However, many participating groups, including @nyu_sjp and @columbia.psc, have affiliations with pro-Palestine activism, raising concerns that this may serve as a strategic pivot to avoid scrutiny often associated with pro-Palestine protests.

Organizers’ History:

Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and aligned organizations frequently use divisive rhetoric and have been known to endorse inflammatory narratives. Past events led by these groups have sometimes escalated into unsafe environments, posing risks to bystanders.

For Your Safety:

• Avoid the area: Steer clear of Washington Square Park during the event to reduce potential exposure to disturbances.
• Stay informed: Follow updates from local authorities and Protect Our Campus for live coverage on X and Instagram.
