Eviction Threat at Cambridge Gaza Occupation
repost | 28.01.2009 22:05 | University Occupations for Gaza | Palestine | Cambridge
Dear Friends,
the university authorities have issued a legal document threatening to exercise their legal rights to remove us from the building by 9 pm tonight. We would ask you to support our right to peaceful protest.
We have been in negotiations all day and have cooperated and compromised extensively. The university is being intimidatory and heavy handed.
We would ask you to support us by emailing the Vice-Chancellor -
v-c@admin.cam.ac.uk, by contacting MP for Cambridge David Howarth and by coming down at 9 pm. Please bring food.
This is an infringement of our right to peaceful protest and that is an issue we feel that all students should act on.
In hope and peace,
Cambridge Gaza Solidarity

My point is to move past 'creative protest' (or creative negations) and move into creative nonprotest calm interventions, this means disobedience and rhizomic nonviolence - build on Thoreau and King.
"I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings and personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest." - Martin Luther King, Jr, Autobiography
