Episode 6: The War Within: Repression and Resistance at UCSD with BT Werner

Send us Fan MailIn the first episode of a new series, “The War Within,” featuring those fighting against war, imperialism, and repression from inside the UC system, we talk to BT Werner about their long history of organizing at UC San Diego (UCSD). Werner, a physicist who has been at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for 35 years, discusses how understanding complex systems can help us fight back against UC repression while providing examples from the Black Winter of 2010 to the 2024 Gaza solidarity encampments. Two years after the May 6 police raid that violently dismantled the UCSD encampment, Werner and one other UCSD professor are still facing disciplinary changes and suspension. We encourage listeners to sign a petition demanding that the UCSD administration drop the charges immediately.Links:Struggle for the Liberation of Palestine – UCSD EditionPetition to Drop the Charges against UCSD Professor Lily Hoàng and Professor BT Werner Drop the Charges Email CampaignLegal and Support Funds for Survivors of The Palestine Exception at UCSD
