Palestine

Since early 2009, SA has played an active role in building Students for Palestine, a nation-wide network of pro-Palestinian student activists and have been involved in demonstrations and campus activity, including the protests against the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid and helping fundraise for the Viva Palestina 5.
