A recent biased news frenzy led by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) has targeted Marilyn Zuniga, a third-grade teacher in Forest Street Elementary School in Orange, NJ. As a result, she has been suspended for supporting her students’ wishes to send get-well letters to the imprisoned and gravely ill Mumia Abu-Jamal, one of the most celebrated, black public intellectuals of our time.

The press has failed to explain that Ms. Zuniga made student participation voluntary, that she in no way forced student compliance, and that the letter-writing was an extra project they were allowed to complete only after finishing regular assignments. Prior to this incident her mentor and principal had commended her for being a model teacher.

In this time of growing public exposure of systemic police violence against African Americans and Latinos, we must challenge any attempt by the FOP to determine what is taught in classrooms across our nation.

Stand with Marylin Zuniga, and in the long line of those who have stood up in solidarity with the unjustly imprisoned. Click below to send an email to Ronald Lee, Superintendent of Schools in Orange, NJ.

Join a coalition of Milwaukee Palestine solidarity organizations as we remember Al-Nakba. We demand the right of return and the end of illegal Israeli settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing.

Between 1947 and 1949, Jewish-Zionist and Israeli military forces forcibly expelled over 800,000 Palestinians from their homeland, destroying hundreds of Palestinian villages and massacring Palestinian men, women and children. This is known to Palestinians as “Al-Nakba” which means, “The Catastrophe” in Arabic.

Today, Al-Nakba continues as the State of Israel expands it’s occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. We demand the Right of Return to millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants.

We stand in full solidarity with the Robinson Family and those who are fighting back against this injustice.

We urge all youth to attend the demonstrations tomorrow, on May 13, called by The Young, Gifted, and Black coalition in Madison and The Coalition For Justice in Milwaukee.
