Student Encampments Spring 2024 -Lessons for the Future

IJV Canada is thrilled to invite you to a panel discussion on the lessons in solidarity and organizing learned during the Student Encampments in the Spring and Summer of 2024. We will feature representatives from several encampments including University of Toronto, McMaster, Dalhousie, University of British Columbia, University of Calgary and McGill University.

This event will be facilitated by Lia Tarachansky, a documentary filmmaker whose work covered Israel/Palestine for 15 years. IJV has screened several of her films, including On The Side Of The Road (2013) about Israeli collective denial of the Nakba and Ethnocracy: Israel’s African Refugees (2015). She is a founding member of Independent Jewish Voices Canada and will facilitate a generative discussion, reflecting on campus organizing in the wake of the ongoing genocide, the repression on campuses and the complicity of universities in the arms trade.

Join us to learn about a unique situation at different universities that participated in the Encampments movement, reflect on movement building that includes tens of thousands, mobilizes a diversity of tactics, works towards a spectrum of visions and ideologies, and leaves a plethora of lessons for future student activism.
