SUMMARY:"The Encampments" Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets to attend. \n \nMAPA invites you to a screening of The Encampments\, a new film by Michael T. Workman\, followed by discussion. The first months of the second Trump administration have signaled a shift from derision and misrepresentation of the movement for justice in Palestine to active state suppression. The very Universities that at best barely tolerated and at worst violently dismantled student protest movements are now themselves being threatened with loss of grants\, funding\, tax-exempt status\, and other privileges\, for not being brutal enough in their response to peace activists. In addition to pursuing all possible legal avenues to dissuade vocal opposition to America’s active involvement in an ongoing genocide\, the administration is creating an atmosphere of fear by abducting individuals active in the movement off the streets of so-called “sanctuary cities” in broad daylight and renditioning them to other states in an effort to expel them from the country. These actions must not break our will\, but strengthen our resolve. It is in this spirit that we present this timely and vital film. \nAbout the Film: When a group of students at Columbia University in New York launch a movement protesting the war in Gaza\, they spark a nationwide uprising in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Encampments spring up at hundreds of campuses as students object to their own university’s investment in the US and Israeli arms industry. Featuring detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil\, The Encampments takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors\, whistleblowers\, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today. \nDiscussion after screening with student/s who participated in encampments. \nFeel free to bring snacks to share. \nDirections to the venue. \nPurchase tickets to attend. \n \nSponsored by MAPA\, cosponsored by the MA Justice for All Party\, Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine\, CD8 for Palestine\, Jewish Voice for Peace Boston\, Northshore for Palestine\, Palestine House of New England\, and Party for Socialism and Liberation.
