FILE - Rep. Ayanna Pressley , D-Mass., talks during a press conference to call for a ceasefire in Israel and Gaza on Capitol Hill, Friday, Oct. 20, 2023, in Washington. Rep. Ayanna Pressley , D-Mass., on Thursday compared pro- Palestine college protests to the civil rights movement .

From the 1960s civil rights movement, the Vietnam War protests, the struggle for gender equality, and the movement for Black lives, to the global movement for peace in Israel and Palestine, many of the rights we tout today were earned thanks to the sweat equity of students demonstrating on college campuses across the nation,” Rep.

I am grateful to students nationwide and across the Massachusetts 7th — at Emerson, Northeastern, MIT, Tufts, Boston University, Harvard, and more — who are raising their voices and putting their bodies on the line to press for action to save lives in Gaza,” Rep. Pressley stated. “That is what this movement is about.”
