Pamphlets outlining how to "build a culture of resistance against" Immigration and Customs Enforcement were available in Columbia’s main library Monday night, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. A second stack of handouts detailed how radical activists can protect themselves while participating in various protests, including encampments and while occupying administrative buildings.
The first pamphlet, titled "8 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO STOP ICE," was attributed to the anarchist group CrimethInc. and calls on activists to "Abolish ICE" and "Shut Out The Police." The second set, adorned with the anti-Israel National Lawyers Guild’s logo and titled "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS FOR CAMPUS PROTESTS," warned that corporations may use lawsuits "to target protected speech" and suggested finding allies among faculty and school administrators.
Both sets of flyers, obtained by the Free Beacon, filled a bin sporting two labels: one that read "Know Your Rights Educational Resources," and another that read "Property of library staff—do not remove."
