Fellowship of Reconciliation we stand in solidarity with the students of Columbia University, City College of New York, and Fordham University who courageously participated in peaceful encampments. The shutdown and the reported brutalization by the NYPD are deeply troubling and unacceptable. Every individual has the right to peacefully assemble and express their views without fear of violence or intimidation.
We condemn any actions that infringe upon the rights and safety of students and call for a thorough investigation into the incidents that occurred. It is imperative that authorities uphold the principles of free speech and assembly, and ensure the protection of all individuals exercising their democratic rights.
To the students affected, know that your voices are heard and valued. Your commitment to advocating for change inspires us all, and we stand with you in demanding justice and accountability.
