Curtin Student Solidarity Encampment
From Thursday 2 May, the Guild, with the support of numerous Guild clubs and organisations in Australia, facilitated a Solidarity Encampment in solidarity with Palestine, and to protest Curtin’s connections to war, weapons manufacturing and the Israeli Defence Forces.
The Guild is calling on the university to:
- Divest from all weapons companies (Namely, Curtin’s partnerships with Lockheed Martin, Babcock Australasia, and Huntington Ingalls Industries).
- Disclose - Transparency of all university investments and research connections to companies that support or have ties to Israel, the Australian Defence Force and weapons manufacturing.
- Divest from all Israeli companies, and adhere to BDS standards, including divesting away from HP tech.
- Cut ties to Israeli universities.
- Publicly denounce the ongoing genocide in Gaza – including the destruction of every university in Gaza and the horrific killing of Palestinian students, academics, and staff.
Students are welcome to join in at any time at the encampment and are encouraged to camp with us.
