COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE

Learn more about the history of Students for Justice in Palestine at Columbia University, and our chapter’s trajectory, goals, and principles.

Columbia SJP is not affiliated with the terrorist, imperialist, Nazi-Zionist, colonizing, gentrifying, pig-loving, genocidal, war-profiteering "institution" known as Columbia University.

About Us
A large crowd of protesters gathers outside a building with tall columns, holding various signs and Palestinian flags during a demonstration. The signs include messages like '5,791+ Killed in 2 Weeks,' 'Free Palestine,' and other political statements. Many participants are wearing masks and traditional headscarves.

Read more about Columbia SJP’s activities—both on and off campus—since our foundation in 2009, reformation in 2016, and growth in 2023.
