Reinstate SJP and drop all charges against its members

The Issue

Northeastern University Students for Justice in Palestine have been dissolved as a student organization and all of the belonging students banned from leadership roles permanently over a myriad of false accusations.  This is an attack on the fundamental rights of free speech and academic freedom and yet another example of the muzzling of pro-Palestine speech on college campuses.  What's worse, two SJP members, both  women of color, have been targeted for expulsion-level disciplinary proceedings.  This is outrageous and we will not allow them to be intimidated and sanctioned for their political views.
