Divestment Victory! with Students for Justice in Palestine at UC Davis

from Cocktails & Capitalism · host Cocktails & Capitalism

Students at UC Davis just won an historic victory by passing a bill that divests all student funds from apartheid Israel. I spoke with three of the women who were instrumental in making this happen, including the political director, the president, and the social media coordinator for the UC Davis chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). We discussed the magic moment when the bill passed, the work that went into this success, and how they are helping to empower students at other universities to achieve similar victories.Already, students at many other UCs have followed suit, passing a similar divestment bills and resolutions. (UC Riverside,  UC Los Angeles, UC Santa Cruz, and UC San Diego). We hope this is just the beginning of an avalanche of university divestment victories like those that were vital to the end of South African apartheidLINKS:SJP at UCD LinktreeFollow @sjpatucd2 and @sjpatucd on Instagram!Follow @sjpatucdavis on Twitter!Shamouti Sour(The name is a tribute to the Palestinian people and their connection to the fruits of their land, as Shamouti oranges originate from Yaffah -- an occupied city in Palestine)      60ml   Orange juice (fresh if possible)      22ml   Lemon juice       8ml     Simple syrup      22ml   Olive brine Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin and shake briefly with ice.
