JVP Action is now doing business as JVP (501c4); 501c3 work continues in JVP Lab.
- Right now @umichsph’s commencement speaker, Jodi-Ann Burey, condemned the UMich’s leaders for not divesting in the face of the genocide in Gaza. “We are witnessing the most well-documented genocide in human history on our cell phones.”
00:00 - Today at Festifall, the CEO of UMich Hillel jeered at pro-Palestine protestors at a die-in decrying our university’s complicity in a brutal genocide — being committed in our names as Jewish people. We REFUSE to accept that Judaism is Zionism. Hillel will NEVER represent all Jews.
- University of Michigan’s admin cancelled the student government’s referendum on divestment, threw 10,000 ballots in the trash, and said it would forbid future voting on the topic. It is now surrounded by ceasefire resolutions passed by Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Washtenaw County.
- ‼️Breaking‼️ University of Michigan’s Faculty Senate passes resolution *demanding divestment from companies profiting off of Israeli aggression in Gaza* @TAHRIRumich thanks all of the faculty who stand on the right side of history!
- Jewish people from Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Detroit say — not in our name! No business as usual while @GovWhitmer and @UMich fund genocide.Our movement has shut down roads to #TheGame of Michigan vs OSU this morning! Ohio’s team was rerouted due to total shutdown for 2 hours. There’s no business as usual while the US funds genocide. We demand a #PermanentCeasefire.
00:00 - From Ann Arbor to East Lansing, Michiganders say: Palestine will be free!
- URGENT CALL TO ACTION: 3 students were arrested protesting today at UMich. 2 were released but one has been transferred to Washtenaw county jail. Show up ASAP at 2201 Hogback Rd, Ann Arbor to rally and put pressure on ensuring our friend is released immediately!!

- Today, the @TAHRIRumich coalition succeeded in SHUTTING DOWN a scheduled event with Zionist settler @naftalibennett. U-M students & workers are clear: no war criminal on our campus! #FreePalestine
00:00 - BREAKING: @UMich police arrest over 35 students protesting against Israel's genocide in Gaza. Students from a broad multicultural coalition occupied @UMichPrezOno's office for a 6-hour sit-in, demanding a meeting to end university support for Israel's crimes. 1/2
