Cori Bush compared pro-Palestinian campus protesters with the women's suffrage movement.
In a joint press conference with Rep., Bush heaped praise on campus protesters across the country, comparing them to several major protest movements across history, including those for suffrage and against the Vietnam War.
“Protest isn’t meant to be comfortable,” she said. “It is meant to be disruptive. And if you don’t want folks to protest, then prioritize humanity over profit, humanity over your donors, humanity over your property. This is how justice is won, though.” “It was true during the student-led movement against the Vietnam War when organizing at universities, the movement to resist the draft, and the youth-led nationwide movement. Those protests led to the end of the war, and campaigns to divest from South Africa by students led to the end of apartheid,” she added.
