A reminder regarding the events occurring on UCSD campus on May 6th, 2024. Active Minds @ UC San Diego statement of solidarity for the Gaza encampment and Palestinian liberation:

Leadership at Active Minds @ UC San Diego condemns the escalation of events that took place on May 6th, 2024, challenging UC San Diego’s claim on making our campus “a safe place to create, collaborate, and thrive,” and are disappointed regarding the violent actions against students and forced removal of the encampment, highlighting the presence of police with riot gear and snipers in addition to pepper spraying, beating, and arresting peaceful protestors including students and faculty.

These actions have significant implications for the mental health of the student body, exacerbating stress, anxiety, and trauma. We support student leaders and activists spotlighting the ongoing human rights violations since Israel’s occupation in 1948. We condemn the escalated violence against peaceful protestors and call for UCSD administrators to be accountable for the incidents occurring on May 6th.

We want to reaffirm that as a community that welcomes diversity and inclusion, we condemn actions that contradict these values. Active Minds @ UC San Diego stands with our students and demands accountability from UC San Diego’s administration. We condemn UC San Diego administration’s response and reaffirm the demands of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment for UCSD to end the silence, campus wide boycott, amnesty for all, and divest from death.
