Updates From PSC:
IU Continues Targeting Students
As many of you know, one of our organizers, Luke Summers was pulled over by 5 squad cars and had their phone and vehicle seized by the police. This was to gain information about Summers’ alleged involvement in an art-related protest on campus. This marks an escalation in the University’s attempt to silence and intimidate students organizing for Palestine. They are currently safe and in touch with legal council and we will be monitoring and updating folks on the situation.
