Amidst the federally mandated disappearances and attacks on Palestine organizers , PSC interviewed a friend of Cornell University activist, Momodou Taal about the heightened repression at Cornell and other universities around the country.
Since recording, Taal has opted to leave the country:
“Given what we have seen across the United States, I have lost faith that a favourable ruling from the courts would guarantee my personal safety and ability to express my beliefs.”
