TAMARA RASAMNY - A Global Stand for Gaza (Ep.404)

The Beirut Banyan

A conversation with Tamara Rasamny - MA at Columbia University's Climate School. A look at the student encampment at Columbia University in support of Gaza, the wider meaning of a global movement demanding justice and freedom for Palestine, Tamara's own detainment during the police raid on Columbia's campus, and a reflection of her participation in protests at home in Beirut and abroad in New York. The student encampment's demands include: - Divestment of all finances, including endowment, from corporations that profit from apartheid, genocide, and occupation. - Total financial transparency of all investments. - Amnesty for students and faculty disciplined or fired in connection with the movement.
