Political & Advocacy
Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE) is a Palestinian solidarity organization and the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter at the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor. SAFE is comprised of a coalition of diverse members dedicated to advancing the causes of freedom, justice, human rights, and equality for all peoples. This is consistent with our fundamental belief that all genuine struggles for justice and liberation are intrinsically connected. Though SAFE’s mission is not limited to any single issue, our foremost objective is to promote the right of self-determination for the Palestinian people and advocate for justice for Palestinians on campus and globally. SAFE seeks to engage with University administration, other student groups, and responsible community organizations in our collective attempt to contribute to advancing Palestinian liberation and freedom. Our work includes educating the campus community on the occupation and the history of Palestine; celebrating Palestinian culture and histories of resistance; promoting an inclusive campus environment that supports and uplifts Palestinians; dismantling anti-Palestinian narratives; organizing campaigns and activism related to Palestinian liberation, including divestment; and uplifting and building community with other racial justice organizations in order to fight against racism, colonialism, imperialism, sexual and gender oppression, religious discrimination, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, and all other forms of oppression.Note: SAFE currently maintains iheartsafe, an MCommunity listserv, which anyone can request to be added to for updates. This listserv is the best way to get involved with SAFE; it is maintained on a regular basis and requests are accepted from anyone with a general interest in SAFE's actions. Requests via Maize Pages are unlikely to receive a response.
