Please consider leaving a message with the OSU Office of the President, 614-292-2424, to say that as an Ohioan whose tax dollars support OSU, you object to further arrests of peaceful protesters and you urge amnesty for the arrested student protesters. Thursday, on the OSU campus, more than thirty peaceful protesters were arrested because they failed to disperse upon the order of law enforcement. They were charged with criminal trespass. This is happening all around the country with more than 500 arrests on more than 40 campuses as of Friday morning. The arrests are an extreme over-reaction and are clearly meant to suppress the growing protest movement against U.S. funding of indiscriminate and disproportionate military actions against Gazans.
Robert Reich said on April 23, “It is never appropriate to call in armed police to arrest peaceful student demonstrators.” Meeting peaceful civil disobedience with over-reaction, violence and suppression are the tactics that were used against civil rights protesters. Civil disobedience is sometimes necessary to achieve justice. It took civil disobedience for Black people in many states to have the right to vote and to sit anywhere in a bus.
The Democratic Caucus Leadership, Franklin County Delegation, Jewish Caucus also objected to the law enforcement actions at OSU: “Students have a right to protest peacefully, no matter the cause, and we have to vigorously defend their ability to do so…And while peacefully demonstrating that right, there is no room or excuse for the unnecessary force that was used on the students and demonstrators, including an elected member of the Ohio House of Representatives who sustained minor injuries.” Democratic Caucus Leadership, Franklin County Delegation, Jewish Caucus Release Statement on Ohio State University Demonstrations www.ohiosenate.gov/members/william-p-demora/news/democratic-caucus-leadership-franklin-county-del...
