Queer Campus Activists Against Gaza Genocide  

On the afternoon of May 1, SUNY New Paltz students began a peaceful encampment to urge the campus administration to stop financially supporting companies that contribute to Israeli apartheid. 36 hours later, over 50 state troopers entered campus and violently arrested students. On this edition of Out-FM, queer students and faculty from colleges in New York and California will describe their experiences of intimidation, suppression and violence as they support Palestinians. They challenge the way their colleges collude with the Zionist system of persecution and mass murder. They themselves are punished for fighting for Palestinian liberation.

Google Fires Anti-Apartheid Workers

In mid-April, Google abruptly terminated at least 50 workers for protesting Project Nimbus which has made the tech giant complicit in Apartheid Israel's Gaza genocide — though the organizers insist that some of the workers who were fired were simply observing the demonstration. On this show, two of the terminated ex-Googlers will talk about the #NoTechForApartheid campaign and their legal challenge to Google's unfair labor practices.

Queers Protest LGBTQ Advocacy Group's Collaboration with Pro-Israel Propaganda Organization

We will present voices from the protest of the Gaza genocide last Saturday during the annual Media Awards ceremony of one of the largest, best-funded LGBTQ defense organizations, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation or GLAAD. GLAAD is a 40-year-old media watchdog against negative representations of queer and trans people. The 150-strong rally outside the New York City Hilton Hotel was sponsored by the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power or ACT UP, and Jewish Voice for Peace. It demanded the severing of GLAADs joint work with the Anti-Defamation League or ADL, which decided last fall to add ALL Palestine solidarity events to its tallies of anti-semitic incidents. The ADL also brings U.S. police to Israel to be trained in crowd control by high-level military personnel. Click here for comments of Emmaia Gelman on the ADL GLAAD: Drop The ADL.
