Tallahassee, FL – Tuesday, November 19, Student Activists at Florida State University came together to condemn the institution’s complicity in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. Student demonstrators laid themselves along the graveled concrete, just outside one of the campus’s most busy academic buildings and refused to move – symbolizing the 40,000 plus Palestinians killed since October 7, 2023.

The demonstration was organized by the Tallahassee Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in coalition with other community advocacy groups. The turnout was about 30 people, with an even greater number of law enforcement watching from afar.

Throughout the demonstration, student activists held up signs detailing the lives of Palestinian children whose stories had been cut short, while others stood up and spoke against the university’s cooperation with war profiteers.

As soon as the student activists began to lead the crowd in chant, campus police quickly intervened, ordering the demonstration to “quiet down,” lest the FSU students studying inside “be made aware of their university’s complicity in genocide,” as one of the activists powerfully put it.

Eventually it rained. Despite the unfortunate weather, the student activists picked up their things and got together for a final march, solemnly chanting affirmations of Palestinian liberation.

Florida State University (FSU) and Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) have a joint engineering school, with long-held ties to weapons manufacturers Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and the Boeing corporation, among others. These corporations sponsor internships, make massive donations to the universities, and often appear as guest speakers on campus in engineering classrooms in the hopes that new talent will funnel into the weapons manufacturing industry. These corporations actively produce and sell the weapons given to Israel, which are then used to carry out the televised genocide.

FSU sophomore JJ Glueck has been organizing with the Tallahassee SDS for the better part of a year now and was beyond enthusiastic to talk about FSU’s involvement with the genocide, and her own, deeply passionate reasons for activism.

Glueck stated, “If you, as a person in Palestine who has experienced genocide, can continue to resist and speak, the least I can do is speak up for them in my own country, playground, and backyard and try my absolute best to demand FSU divest from Israel.

Glueck’s advocacy, and “radicalization,” as she puts it, is anything but new, with roots tracing far back to her youth. Glueck was in elementary school during the Ferguson unrest - a series of large-scale protests against police violence and militarization, sparked by the killing of African American Michael Brown in Saint Louis, Missouri. She witnessed the protests firsthand from her car window.

This experience had certainly taken root in her; by the time she had moved to Florida and the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 had begun, she was out there with the rest of them – organizing and doing the work.

“I saw what police officers did to protesters. I saw it when I was young in Saint Louis, and I saw it again in Florida – I saw what police did to Black people. That was my radicalizing experience.” Glueck’s passion for advocacy didn’t end at racial injustice in America, however. The similarities between the struggles of African Americans in the U.S. and Palestinians in the Middle East were a turning point for Glueck.

“I think back to what I remember of the Ferguson [unrest], I remember seeing that from a car, but also seeing it on the news, and seeing the way the police responded to those protests; seeing the way the IDF [Israeli Defense Forces] responds to the people of Palestine, if you take out the headlines, it’s the same god damn thing. It’s so eerily similar, and they’re shooting people in the streets, massive amounts of people, our police don’t look that different - it should terrify all Americans,” stated Glueck.

Repression at FSU

During the wave of pro-Palestinian student encampments across the country, FSU students held their own, only for campus police to relocate the protesters several times, ultimately turning on sprinklers to disburse demonstrators.

Tallahassee’s SDS was then interrupted again by campus police. During SDS’s general body meeting set to discuss tactics on keeping protests safe, campus police arrived and ordered them to relocate from the Landis Green, despite it being designated as a “free speech zone.”

Police presence escalated further after Ron Desantis signed a bill into law banning DEI initiatives in public Florida colleges. SDS held a protest in opposition to the law, only for police to watch from afar in a militarized armored vehicle, as what Glueck described to be an intimidation tactic.

Then, Tallahassee’s SDS was de-listed as a registered student organization after protesting at the university’s board of trustees meeting. The university alleged that the students failed to leave after being asked by police, despite video evidence of the contrary. Tallahassee’s SDS released a statement condemning the university’s decision, alleging that FSU has “shown their fear of the student movement by wielding campus police in cowardice.”

At the time of writing, members of Tallahassee’s SDS are currently undergoing mandatory disciplinary hearings at the hands of the FSU administration. Considering the University of South Florida’s willingness to expel student protesters, these disciplinary hearings aren’t to be ignored, and could have grave, disproportionate consequences for the students activists involved.

Students across Florida have shown their teeth, and university administrations have done the same. If the suppression of FSU students is anything to go off of, life as a politically conscious Florida college student may just get worse – somehow. Only continued activism and organizing can prevent this and build the student movement into an even more powerful vehicle for striking blows against this rotten system.

Tallahassee, FL – On the morning of Wednesday, May 1, about 30 students at Florida State University (FSU) established a Palestine solidarity encampment on Landis Green, the epicenter of FSU campus. They had camped for three days prior to demand a meeting with FSU President Richard McCullough.

Students first gathered at Landis Green at 9:00 a.m. Students demanded a meeting with administration to demand FSU disclose and divest from all ties to Israel and end all campus partnerships with Boeing. At the encampment students chanted “FSU, do what’s right! Cut ties with Boeing and Birthright!” and “Disclose! Divest! We will not stop, we will not rest!”

At around 1:30 p.m., students erected tents on Landis Green despite orders from FSUPD to disperse. Almost immediately, more than 15 campus police descended on protesters erecting the tent and arrested five people: Elijah Ruby, Tavish Bryan, Katherine Kurzweil, Aeden Bennett, and Lou Orban. FSUPD was quick to drive protesters away and place them in holding at the Leon County Jail. SDS organizers and community members mobilized to the jail and waited more than six hours for all five protesters to be released.

Upon their release, the arrestees spoke to the crowd of 20 waiting outside the jail. Elijah Ruby stated, “We want Florida State to disclose all relationships with Israel and divest from all relationships with companies aiding Israel’s genocide. FSU’s engineering department has partnerships with Boeing and Northrop Grumman, which build the planes and bombs that kill Palestinian children every day.”

Aeden Bennett stated, “The fact that Florida State University can invest in weapons manufacturers and support an ongoing genocide, and at the same time criminalize peaceful student protest on their campus, is ridiculous. There’s no accountability – there’s no access or outlets to even talk to these administrators and list our demands. They’re stopping those of us who are graduating from walking at our own graduation and banning us from even going on campus. How is that ‘free speech?’”

Katy Kurzweil, a member of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, stated, “I was planning to transfer to FSU, and now I’m not even allowed to step on campus. But why would I want to go to a school that supports genocide? I’ll keep my money.”

Tallahassee SDS will hold a press conference and rally to demand the charges be dropped and the university listen to student demands of divestment from Israel. The five students are accepting donations towards their legal fees through Cashapp: $SDSFSU

Tallahassee, FL – On the early morning of April 25, about 20 students at Florida State University (FSU) started an encampment for Palestine on Landis Green in solidarity with student encampments across the country. Students at schools across the country, such as Columbia, Yale and the University of Minnesota have set up encampments to demand their universities divest and cut all ties to Israel.

Students camped on Landis Green, the epicenter of campus, beginning at 4 a.m. Tents, blankets and Palestinian flags were set up across the space. A banner tied between tents made the student’s purpose clear, reading, “FSU students demand: disclose/divest from Israel! End partnerships with Boeing!” The FSU College of Engineering has multiple partnerships with weapons manufacturer Boeing through various departments and scholarships.

At around 7:30 a.m., campus police ordered the encampment to relocate to Landis Fountain, and again at 9 a.m. to Strozier, the main library. By 10 a.m., when a kickoff rally began, more than 60 students and community members had joined the fold. Sprinklers on the lawn were turned on full blast in an attempt to deter them. Despite this, the encampment remained on Landis until 10 p.m. that night.

The FSU site was established by Tallahassee Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Tally Dissenters, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), and Dream Defenders.

Three rallies were held throughout the day to amplify the student’s demands and keep spirits high. Joelle Nuñez, president of Tally SDS, said “We want FSU to end all partnerships with Israel, Boeing and any other military contractors or entities tied to Israel. This encampment is getting the word out to students and showing them that there is a movement here. We’re not going to let up until our demands are met.”

Kitty Nitsch of Tally Dissenters spoke to the importance of solidarity and the interconnectedness of the Palestinian and Black liberation movements, stating, “Our small act of resistance against the war industry and the consequences we may face are nothing the people of Gaza and the West Bank are actively facing. Showing my solidarity with Palestinian siblings is continuing the decades long history of solidarity between the Black and Palestinian people. We are not free until we are all free.”

About ten Zionist hecklers gathered across the sidewalk from the encampment. At about 3 p.m. they attempted to enter the encampment to harass protesters and take their supplies, including food and water donated by community members and supportive passerby. Campus police intervened and erected barricades to separate the two groups.

Katy Kurzweil, a member of FRSO, stated, “We need to show the university that there are people on this campus and in this state who care about Palestinian liberation. Florida is governed by Ron DeSantis, one of the most repressive governors in the country. We have to mobilize to show the admin and politicians that we outnumber them. We run the show, not them!”

Students began breaking down the encampment at about 9:30 p.m. with the intention of returning the next day at 9 a.m..

Tallahassee, FL – On December 1, about 200 students and community members attended a vigil for the 20,000-plus Palestinian lives lost since October 7. The event was hosted by the FSU Students for a Democratic Society.

Activists and community members gathered to commemorate those lost and continue to demand an end to the U.S. aid to Israel and that FSU administration divest from Israel.

Ahmad Daraldik, a representative for Florida Palestine Network, discussed how the conflict in Palestine extends past the Palestinian people, stating, “It’s been 51 days of escalated conflict, but it feels like 51 seconds and 51 years at the same time. All of you here, even if you have no connection to Palestine, are Palestinian, for standing up and speaking out against the genocide of my people.” 

After a series of short speeches, the names of Palestinians martyred in the past two months were read out loud. Long papers were spread on the floor so people could write out the names not spoken. Attendees wrote and spoke the names for over three hours and still did not complete the full list.

 Co-sponsoring organizations included Tallahassee Food Not Bombs, the Tallahassee Community Action Committee, FSU’s Muslim Student Association, Florida Palestine Network, and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. 

To conclude, SDS Vice President Elijah Ruby gives a short summation of the event and its importance: “FSU held a vigil for Israel less than a week after October 7, yet has said nothing about the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed. It’s important that everyone is here to mourn all the people in Palestine, because if we don’t do it, nobody else at this university will.”

Tallahassee, FL – On November 10, approximately 30 students at Florida State University attended FSU’s Board of Trustees meeting to demand the university divest from Israel. The students were organized by the Florida state chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (FSU SDS).

FSU SDS had three demands of FSU and its board of trustees. They demanded that President Mccullough retract a statement made on October 10 where he expressed sympathy for Israel but made zero mention of Palestinians; that FSU divest from all entities, such as Boeing, to which FSU’s Aero-Propulsion, Mechatronics, and Energy programs partner with, and which contribute to genocide in Palestine; and for FSU to end ties with Mayanot’s Birthright program which pays for students to travel to Israel for ten days, encouraging further settlement of Palestinian land.

The event was supposed to begin inside the Devoe L. Moore University Center with students making their demands in the time allotted for public commentary at 3 p.m.. However, upon arriving, they were informed by campus police that public comment had already finished, despite multiple affirmations by leading members of SDS who verified the timing of public comment through official university channels. Officials cited the agenda proceeding faster than expected as their excuse to exclude public statements.

Even though public comment had been stifled, SDS was still allowed entry. The students silently observed the proceedings for a time. During a question and answer period, one member loudly questioned the whole room as to why the board had removed public comment, demanding, “Why was public comment expedited so we could not speak? Why won’t FSU divest from Israel and Boeing?” – there was no response from the board. Students chanted “Free free Palestine!” and “FSU, you can’t hide! We charge you with genocide!” as they were escorted out of the meeting by campus police.

The rally continued as planned with those who had arranged to make public comments speaking through a megaphone pointed at the window where the meeting was taking place.

Joelle Nuñez, president of FSU SDS, was suspicious of the reasoning FSU gave for the lack of public comment at the meeting, stating, “It seems like they changed [the timing] right before we got here. So instead, we are having this rally to express our demands and demand that FSU stop being complicit and stop endorsing this genocide.”

Ravza Cayir, a Muslim member of SDS, expressed frustration at FSU’s statement supporting Israel and administration’s continuous silencing of Palestinian students, shouting “It is not very difficult to speak up and say that genocide is bad, but our city officials and school administration is not brave enough to do even that. Children are dying every day, yet they say nothing. I am not proud to be an FSU student right now.”

In the wake of Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians, FSU SDS has raised their voices to Florida State regardless of roadblocks. A larger trend of pro-Palestine censorship has already taken place, including the recent bipartisan vote by congress to censure Michigan's Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib – the only Palestinian American member of Congress – which demonstrates a clear prejudice against those in vocal support of Palestine.

With hopes to end FSU’s investment in Zionist organizations, SDS members vowed to return to as many board of trustees meetings as necessary for their demands to be heard.

All this while the games are played in the shadow of Doak Campbell, a stadium named after a white man who despised Black people and thought they had no place at FSU. FSU refused to change the name.

White “Indians” doing the tomahawk chop are getting old.

Now we have Dr. Sylvie Naar, the recipient of a $6.5 million National Institutes of Health grant to study HIV among the largely Black people who, in Leon County, die at a highly disproportionate rate compared to whites. Again, more money for FSU on the backs of Black people.

The last time I checked, more than 80% of the people in Leon County who died from HIV were Black. Ironically in multiple community Health Needs Assessments, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) has noted that it “does not plan to address violence and firearm injuries, unwed pregnancies, poverty or sexually transmitted diseases.” Unwed pregnancies? Really? This is TMH judgmental nonsense from the dark ages.

As for FSU, they could care less about the health or wellbeing of Black and brown people. Remember the biomass plant that FSU tried to place less than a mile away from overwhelmingly Black Sabal Palm Elementary School? This would have dumped tons of particulate pollution with fine particles 2.5 microns or less into the air that these children would have to breathe.

It would have made potentially deadly asthma in the Black community even worse.

Further, Dr. Naar has listed Big Bend Cares (Care Point) as an “external collaborator” on her Adolescent and Emerging Adult Health Equity Program.

Both Big Bend Cares and its CEO Rob Renzi were successfully sued in federal court for defaming Jeffrey Pope, one of their own clients, who was suffering from HIV/AIDS.

Renzi has sued Sylvia Hubbard, a Black woman who provides HIV services in the Black community, in an obvious attempt to run her out of town.

Renzi has nothing but contempt for any Black person with whom he disagrees. He has called two policemen on me for going to a ribbon-cutting and threatened to do it again when I went to conference sponsored by United Partners for Human Services without registering.

If the police had shot me dead, I have no doubt that Renzi would have been delighted. Meanwhile it was disclosed during a court deposition that the highest academic degree Renzi has obtained is a high school diploma.

Does this mean that Renzi has lied about his credentials? If so, what else has Renzi lied about?

Care Point is located in the Black community within two miles from where I grew up. Renzi and his attorney Jason Taylor have written that they will call the police on me if I ever set foot on the Care Point property at any time during the remainder of my life. He has issued the same warning to Sylvia Hubbard.

Care Point was built in part by taking at least $1.5 million in tax money from the Black community.

Both the FSU College of Medicine and Tallahassee Memorial Hospital have betrayed the Black community.

The Medical School started out as a joint medical school with FAMU and remained that way from 1971 to 1975. The school was fully financed during this period by the federal government.

In 1975 the Program in Medical Science or “PIMS” as it was called was stolen from FAMU and given in its entirety to FSU by the state of Florida. FAMU, which had taught pharmacy at the joint school, was not allowed to have any role in the medical school after FSU took it over.

FSU promised that its main role would be to provide medical services to the underserved. TMH, as a city-owned nonprofit hospital, made a similar promise and operates via a $1 a year lease with the city of Tallahassee.

Both institutions lied. Both TMH and the FSU College of Medicine are out to stuff as much money in their pockets as they possibly can.

Proof of this is their plan to set up shop in Panama City to provide medical care to rich white people in Margaritaville under the auspices of real estate developer St. Joe Paper Company.

As for Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, it is the scene of a crime. Started in 1948 by Laurie Dozier Sr. and a cabal of white men, it used tax money taken from Black people to build the hospital only to deny Black people admission after the hospital had been constructed. Black people died after having been turned away from TMH.

White supremacy existed at TMH in 1948 and continues to this day.

As for FSU, Dean Fogarty has kept his mouth shut regarding the refusal of Florida to expand Medicaid. Denying health insurance for the poor is killing them. Black infant and maternal mortality in Leon County have been through the roof.

I could not even get the FSU College Medicine to assist me in my efforts to remove free infant formula from the TMH hospital delivery bags. Infant formula undercuts breastfeeding efforts which are underrepresented in the Black community.

Even though breastfeeding lowers the incidence of sudden infant death, TMH CEO Mark O'bryant and then board chairman Laurie Dozier ignorantly claimed that breastfeeding was merely a matter “lifestyle choice.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Because breastfeeding saves lives, it is a matter of public health.

Enough of this. Got to take a break. I can only deal with so much racism coming out of FSU and TMH at a time.

Tallahassee, FL – Around 100 Dream Defenders and community members gathered in Lake Ella Park, Aug. 18, to speak out against the police murder of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown. The rally also focused on the injustice of police brutality and systematic racism perpetuated by the U.S. The crowd was tired of the criminalization of Black and Brown people.

Dream Defenders President Brian Marshall started off the action, stating, “We must no longer stand for this New Jim Crow system and we must put an end to the criminalization of our youth.” The demonstrators then marched on the Tallahassee Police Department. The crowd was upbeat with their hands up, chanting “Hands up, don’t shoot! “ Protesters gathered at the entrance of the Police Department where one by one, protesters voiced their anger with the racist status quo.

The rally not only brought attention to the killing of Mike Brown but also to brought to light to the misuse of police power and instances of police brutality in the Tallahassee community.

Vice president of the Dream Defenders, Regina Joseph, spoke on police misuse of power. She recounted the horrific case of a police shooting at a Tallahassee club. An unarmed teenager, Duane Strong, was killed by a police officer in the parking lot. The officer later claimed Strong attempted to back into the officer’s car. Although there were no grounds for the shooting, the police officer has yet to face any punishment whatsoever. Since 2000, over 24 cases of police shooting have occurred where there have been instances of police brutality or misuse of power, yet no real investigation has occurred.

FAMU Dream Defenders Vice president, Everton Foster, spoke out against the misuse of police power and accountability, stating, “At the root of police brutality problem is power. The American government has given the police excessive weaponry, excessive power and has made them responsible for very little.”

Other protesters brought light to issues regarding the downright racist misconduct used by police. Florida State University Dream Defenders organizer, Shivaani Ehsaan, stated, “ We must stand against oppression wherever it takes place. We are now seeing the violent use of American power both abroad and at home. We must stand with the Palestinian people who are facing the oppression of Israeli bombings done with the help of the U.S.”

The continued uprising in Ferguson and the nationwide actions in solidarity are finally putting the system of the New Jim Crow under trial by the people. Missouri police have resorted to tear gas and jailing protesters. To add another insult to injury, Missouri’s Governor Nixon has gone as far as to call in the National Guard. As a result of this blatant disregard for Black and Brown life, the widespread discontent has now growing.

Gainesville, FL – Two dozen students gathered in Gainesville, July 19, at a Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) day school. Students from the University of Florida, Florida State University, the University of South Florida, and for the first time in SDS’s history, from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville attended. Months of planning the day school on SDS National Working Committee phone calls paid off nicely.

The purpose of the day school was two fold. First, the students honed their skills by attending workshops on a variety of topics central to organizing. Students learned how to make a flyer, how to host protests and demos and how to recruit new students to SDS. Second, the students geared themselves up for a new semester at their respective universities this fall by sharpening their political ideas and campaign plans.

The workshops also included learning how to do outreach and agitation among students to build for campaigns, and what the difference was between working in coalitions and broader united front work. The day school ended with dinner and a social that night.

SDSers went home fired up to build the student movement and fight back against injustice on their campuses and in the community this fall. Morale was high; especially after Florida SDS chapters worked together this past spring to win a campaign for undocumented students to receive in-state tuition rates while attending college – the Tuition Equity campaign. Organizers plan to build on this and other successes.

Tampa Bay SDS organizer Jessica Schwartz said, “All the Florida chapters share similar concerns over transferal of leadership to younger organizers. The purpose of this is to help empower them to take leadership in SDS.”

Jacksonville SDS Organizer C.O. Scanlan said, “For someone just beginning his active involvement in an organization, the day school was incredibly encouraging. It put in clear, concrete terms the steps I need to take in providing the student struggle with another point of focus.”

Tallahassee SDS Organizer Zachary Schultz said, “The day school was an excellent opportunity to share our experiences organizing, and build unity around the methods which will lead the next generation of student activists to victory: militancy and organization.”

The main on- the-ground organizer of the day school, Michela Martinazzi from Gainesville SDS, said, “As many of the veteran SDSers graduate and move on to other struggles, it’s important that that newer organizers keep the same militant line and methods of organizing. I think today proved that all generations of SDS are organizing on the same page.”
