Police violence against Cal Berkeley students at their #Occupy demonstration yesterday. Again it was the police in riot gear who initiated violence against peaceful demonstrators. This violence against students should be leading the national news, not the vandalism that occurred last night at Penn State.
Last year I completed a M.A. in International Human Rights. I'm interested in the praxis of human rights, the role of social justice movements and the value of tikkun olam to make the world a better place. I am also interested in international development, humanitarian aid, social justice movements, politics, economics, community organizing and the values of deep and direct democracy. As a queer Jew I care about certain issues, but I strive to push discourse and work for real, meaningful, and lasting progressive change.
