TAHRIR is a student-led movement advocating for divestment from and boycott of settler colonialism, occupation, mass incarceration, apartheid, and genocide, in Palestine and beyond, as well as for redirecting of university funds towards the welfare of the student community and empowering its cause towards collective liberation.
Our mission is to decolonize our university, acting in solidarity with the victims of the American empire, and those resisting its injustices both locally and globally. Positioned at the heart of this empire, we, as students within its academic institutions, acknowledge our unique leverage and responsibility to challenge and dismantle its power through various methods including education, direct action, and civil disobedience.
TAHRIR, as our name symbolizes, is rooted in the understanding that liberation is both feasible and necessary. This begins with reorienting our institution's resources to reflect the values and aspirations of the student community over profit and the private interests of the elite. We demand transparency and accountability from our administration, and a shift in resource allocation of resources for Humanity and Reparations. This involves directly supporting those impacted by the legacy of empire, colonialism, and racism, and engaging in efforts that contribute to systemic and meaningful change. Finally, our movement understands that meaningful change doesn't come from passive waiting; rather, it learns from Palestinians and other struggling peoples across the third world, that true transformation requires collective unified grassroots power, steadfastness, and persistent, stubborn resistance.
