What is TAHRIR?

The TAHRIR Coalition is a movement dedicated to the liberation of all people. We advocate for resistance against systems of domination and struggle to destroy their manifestations at the University of Michigan, throughout Turtle Island, and across the globe. We act in solidarity with freedom fighters in Palestine and revolutionaries everywhere working to dismantle global imperialism, capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy.

What do we do?

TAHRIR fights against U-M's material complicity in systems of oppression. This entails demands to:

1. Divest from israeli apartheid and genocide
2. Establish a People's Audit
3. Boycott israeli academic institutions
4. Abolish campus policing

Forcing U-M to fulfill these demands are the most impactful actions we can take towards the liberation of Palestine and oppressed people globally. The ongoing genocide in Gaza highlights the the magnitude of the violence U-M profits from and the urgency to act now.

Winning these demands will require steadfast and persistent struggle. We do so through mass collective action; radical political education and awareness; and direct disruption and confrontation. Our fight also requires a refusal to collaborate with or normalize oppressive institutions; a commitment towards keeping each other safe; and active work towards building the liberatory spaces we want to live in.

Take action to fight against the escalating violent repression of pro-Palestine activism!

While we continue to navigate the ongoing charges against the Encampent 11 and Festifall 4, on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM, FBI agents, Michigan state police, and local police officers in unmarked vehicles unconducted coordinated raids at the homes of University of Michigan pro-Palestine activists across Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Canton.

None of the warrants presented by law enforcement listed probable cause. At the Ypsi location, officers refused to provide a serach warrant and forced entry into the residence, breaking their front door. FBI and local police violently raided all three locations and seized personal belonging of targeted residents during final examinations. 8 individuals were detained during the raid and released. Like the Encampent 11, the warrants were all issued by Attorney General Dana Nessel.

As noted in our original fundraiser, urgently needed funds will be used for legal costs, defense campaign costs, and mutual aid for activists facing charges (replacements for stolent devices, fixing the police's vandalism of their homes, emergency relief, food, necessities, etc.). Thank you for your continued support.
