Los ntawm NU Dissenters, The Daily Northwestern, Ob Hlis 1, 2022
Peb yog Northwestern Dissenters.
Peb yog ib qho kev txhawb siab uas cov tub ntxhais kawm yav dhau los tau tsim lub hauv paus rau kev tawm tsam kev ua tub rog hauv tsev kawm ntawv.
Cov neeg tawm tsam yog lub teb chaws tawm tsam kev ua tub rog, tawm tsam kev ua tsov ua rog thiab kev tshem tawm lub koom haum ua rau cov tub ntxhais hluas tiam neeg coj rov qab yam uas tau nyiag peb los ntawm kev lag luam kev ua tsov ua rog, rov nqis peev hauv lub tsev muab lub neej thiab kho peb txoj kev sib raug zoo nrog lub ntiaj teb. Cov neeg tsis sib haum xeeb tab tom tsim cov tub ntxhais hluas hauv tsev kawm ntawv qib siab thoob plaws Turtle Island uas ua rau muaj kev ntxub ntxaug kev ua tub rog thiab yuam cov neeg tseem ceeb thiab cov neeg raug xaiv tsa kom tshem tawm ntawm kev tuag thiab nqis peev hauv lub neej thiab kev kho mob.
Militarism tau nkag mus rau lub ntiaj teb, tab sis peb yog tiam neeg uas tuaj yeem kho qhov kev puas tsuaj uas nws tau ua phem rau. Peb tuaj yeem tso peb txhua tus.
Peb thov Northwestern sever kev sib raug zoo nrog rau sab saum toj tsib riam phom manufacturers thiab muaj feem xyuam rau tsov rog profiteers, xws li tab sis tsis txwv rau Boeing tuam txhab, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies thiab Northrop Grumman.
Qhov no zoo li divestment. Qhov no zoo li stigmatizing txoj haujlwm nrog cov tuam txhab no. Qhov no zoo li tau txais arbiters ntawm kev ua tsov ua rog tawm ntawm peb Pawg Thawj Tswj Hwm.
Peb tseem tab tom hu rau lub tsev kawm ntawv kom cog lus rau Unshackle NU cov lus thov hu rau University kom tshem tawm cov neeg ua haujlwm hauv tsev loj cuj. Peb thov NU ua raws li cov lus pom zoo ntawm 2015 Associated Student Government daws teeb meem los ntawm Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Hewlett-Packard, G4S, Caterpillar thiab Elbit Systems, uas yog tag nrho cov cuam tshuam rau cov neeg Ixayees cov neeg nyob hauv-colonialism thiab ua txhaum ntawm Palestinian lub meej mom.
Peb kuj thov kom lub tsev kawm ntawv tshem tawm kev sib raug zoo nrog US thiab thoob ntiaj teb cov tub ceev xwm, suav nrog tab sis tsis txwv rau US Kev lis kev cai thiab ciam teb tiv thaiv, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, US tub rog thiab Israel Defense Forces. Tsis tas li ntawd, peb thov kom Lub Tsev Kawm Ntawv tau cog lus rau qhov kev thov ntawm 2020 daim ntawv thov tso tawm los ntawm cov tub ntxhais kawm qib siab dub thiab kawm tiav uas tom qab tsim NU Community Not Cops. Cov no suav nrog tab sis tsis txwv rau kev tshem tawm University Tub Ceev Xwm, txiav tag nrho cov kev sib raug zoo rau Chicago Tub Ceev Xwm Lub Tsev Haujlwm thiab Evanston Tub Ceev Xwm Lub Tsev Haujlwm, rov hais dua rau xyoo 1968 qhov kev thov ntawm Bursar's Takeover thiab faib nyiaj thiab peev txheej rau cov koom haum sib ntaus sib tua rau Dub liberation xws li #NoCopAcademy. Tub ceev xwm abolition thiab anti-militarism yog inextricable.
Kev tsov kev rog tsis ua rau peb muaj kev nyab xeeb. Bombs thiab fighter dav hlau tsis ua rau peb muaj kev nyab xeeb. Militarism txhais tau tias kev ua phem rau kev sib koom tes. Nws txhais tau tias kev nruj kev tsiv dhau kev kho. Nws txhais tau hais tias kev tawm tsam hnyav ntawm cov neeg hauv paus txawm thoob plaws ntiaj teb, tub ceev xwm hauv cov zej zog Dub thiab caj npab cuam tshuam rau Saudi Arabia thiab Israel. Nws txhais tau tias ua rau lub neej hauv ntiaj teb tsis tuaj yeem tos txais. Cov neeg tseem ceeb tsim kev tsov kev rog uas tsis muaj qhov kawg rau lub hwj chim thiab txiaj ntsig.
Cov tib neeg tseem ceeb no nyob ntawm NU Pawg Neeg Saib Xyuas. Cov tib neeg tseem ceeb no ua rau muaj kev puas tsuaj thiab kev puas tsuaj thoob ntiaj teb thiab hauv Evanston.
Lawv qhov kev muaj tiag qhia tau hais tias NU qhov cuam tshuam hauv kev lag luam ua tsov rog.
Piv txwv li, Crown tsev neeg, yog ib tsev neeg muaj hwj chim tshaj plaws nyob rau hauv Chicago cheeb tsam, muaj kev nqis peev hauv kev ua tsov rog loj, kev ua tsov ua rog thiab kev tua neeg Israeli. Lawv yog cov cuab yeej cuab tam rau kev nce ntawm warmonger General Dynamics. Qhov tseeb, Lester Crown, NU Board of Trustees life trustee, tau ua tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm General Dynamics. Tsev neeg cov keeb kwm ntshav ntshav nyob hauv Pawg Neeg Saib Xyuas thiab hauv nroog Chicago.
Pawg Thawj Tswj Hwm tsis yog tib yam ntawm University uas militarism tau nkag mus - McCormick School of Engineering kuj muaj kev sib raug zoo rau kev lag luam ua tsov rog. Xyoo 2005, NU, Ford Motor Company thiab Boeing tau tsim "kev sib koom tes" los ua kev tshawb fawb nanotechnology, xws li cov hlau tshwj xeeb, sensors thiab cov ntaub ntawv thermal. Boeing thiab Lockheed Martin nquag ua haujlwm rau McCormick cov tub ntxhais kawm. Nicholas D. Chabraja Center for Historical Studies muaj npe tom qab tus thawj coj ntawm General Dynamics thiab Pawg Thawj Coj ntawm Pawg Neeg Saib Xyuas.
Xyoo 2020, Asmeskas Tub Rog tau pib ua haujlwm ob xyoos nrog Northwestern Initiative for Manufacturing Science thiab Innovation los tsim cov thev naus laus zis uas tuaj yeem tso cai rau cov tsheb tsis muaj neeg tsav tsheb ua haujlwm ntawm ntau yam roj ntau dua li niaj zaus.
Tab sis cov dej ntws tig. Peb yog tiam neeg uas tsis sib haum xeeb.
Divestment tau tshwm sim ua ntej. Nws yuav tshwm sim dua.
Thaum Lub Kaum Hli 2005, NU tau qhia cov tuam txhab uas nqis peev nyiaj sawv cev ntawm University kom rho tawm ntawm plaub lub tuam txhab uas txhawb nqa kev tua neeg ntawm Darfur hauv Sudan.
Peb muaj txhua yam peb xav tau kom muaj kev nyab xeeb, thiab peb tab tom ua haujlwm los ntawm Black abolitionist moj khaum los kho kev sib raug zoo ntawm ib leeg thiab thaj av.
Peb yuav tshem tawm ntawm kev tuag thiab kev puas tsuaj thiab nqis peev rau peb.
