For Immediate Action: Stand with Gallaudet Students for Palestine & the Deaf community in Gaza
Palestine-supporting graduates of Gallaudet University are being targeted by Zionists, resulting in disbandment of the Gallaudet SJP Instagram account— we must respond.
Graduates (including a Gaza Champion) and students of Gallaudet University— a private university in Washington, DC serving the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community—are being targeted by a coordinated Zionist campaign for a simple, powerful act: wearing keffiyehs and holding the Palestinian flag with the message “Palestine will be free” as they accepted their diplomas.
Caving to Zionist pressures, Gallaudet condemned these acts of solidarity and proceeded to disband the university’s SJP Instagram account. This account had 6k followers and was being used to fundraise for the Deaf community in Gaza.
Here is Gallaudet’s statement:
Gallaudet must hear from us that free expression is not a punishable offense and support for Palestine is not hate speech.

When students use their platform to stand up for the most vulnerable, we should protect them — not punish them.
Let’s show up for these students of conscience. Let’s show up for Gaza. Let’s show up for the values we say we believe in.
In solidarity,
The Gaza Champions Community
