ALT This week, we learned that Brooklyn College’s Tow Center was canceling our daylong event, JC Live, at the eleventh hour. Though the administration has used the excuse of “emergency repairs” to one of its many performance spaces, we have good reason to believe that this was a political decision, intending to avoid platforming voices for Palestinian liberation. We have been planning this event for over a year, and anticipated over 1,000 in the audience. Scores of participants were scheduled to speak or perform, many of them traveling internationally to be here with us. We are left scrambling, with little time to prepare an alternative. We will not be silenced. We plan to proceed with our event. We are appealing to our ticket-holders for their understanding while we sort through our options. And we are turning to our community for help. Are you connected to a venue in NYC that is available on September 15th?
