EXCERPT
As alumni of the Maryland Institute College of Art we stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and their fight for liberation, and with the students, faculty, staff, and community members who are demanding MICA divest from genocide.
It has been over 5 months since MICA students and faculty came together to demand that the school they invest so much in begin to reflect the values of its community - for MICA to call for a ceasefire and divest in relationships with organizations that profit from this ongoing violence.
Throughout all of this, the school has failed to publicly decry the violence it supposedly trains its students to stand against. It has continued its ongoing support of institutions that have shown an active role in this genocide.
