Jovanni and Shiloh are joined by Levi and Rogue to discuss their roles at campus protests in Michigan and the larger student-led protests across the US in the now 268-day-long siege on Gaza.  The discussion covers the parallels of student-led protests reminiscent of the Vietnam War era, their demands for divestment from Israeli apartheid, increased Jewish participation in the anti-Zionist struggle,  and the responses from university administrations.  Levi is a student at the University of Michigan, an Air Force veteran, and a Quaker. Levi is involved with the Divestment Coalition at the university, the TAHRIR Coalition [https://tahrirumich.org/], Levy was a participant at the U.M. encampment from April until the 21st of May. My name is Rogue, I’m a political artist and activist in the city they call Detroit.  I’m affiliated with an Anarchist Artist Collective [https://anarchyartists.org/] based in Detroit that is focused on queer liberation. I was a participant in the Wayne State University encampment as an autonomous person. On May 30th the University Police launched a raid against the encampment at 5 am. I was off-site at the time and returned to a small protest forming on Anthony Wayne Drive, we witnessed cops hiding badges and numbers, ripping the hijabs off several women when they violently attacked a group of protestors.
