Everybody Freeze! The Art of Public Demonstration for Palestine on College Campuses

Israel's 51-day assault on Gaza in July and August 2014 was a turning point for the global movement to end Israel's occupation of Palestine. Images of bodies in the streets of the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of Gaza City and of terrified children enraged the world and turned bystanders into activists. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets around the globe to protest Israel's violations of human rights. As masses demanded their governments take action to stop Israel and hold it accountable, the modes of demonstrations became more urgent and creative. Student groups and community organizations from London to Johannesburg and from Los Angeles to New Delhi, engaged in one of the most powerful forms of collective expression -- protest. For that reason, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a national education and advocacy organization, has developed this activism handbook that can be utilized easily by student groups seeking creative ways to engage their campus communities on Palestine.
