Students at the University of Toronto and in Manitoba are making their voices heard in support of a ceasefire in Gaza. Since May 2, the central lawn of the University of Toronto campus has been transformed into a hub of solidarity, with students setting up tents to advocate for peace.
Deborah Cowen, a Jewish professor at U of T, shared her perspective on the movement, highlighting the unity among Jewish faculty and students who have come together to pray for an end to the conflict. Erin, a soon-to-be graduate, expressed her motivation for joining the protests, drawing parallels between her own academic journey and the struggles faced by thousands of students in Gaza whose universities have been disrupted.
This peaceful protest underscores the growing call among young people for resolution and compassion in the midst of global conflicts. As the sit-ins continue, students hope to raise awareness and inspire action towards achieving lasting peace in the region. 🌍💬✨
