Anti-Israel activist groups in the US are calling for a mass 'take over' of campuses in response to a crackdown on campus protests by the government. The call to action, endorsed by eight activist groups, came after the Trump administration cancelled grants and contracts to Columbia University. The groups believe that the government's actions are an attempt to control academia and that other universities will be targeted. The joint statement emphasized the importance of campus and community unity in the face of what they perceive as fascist attacks.
