San Jose, CA \u2013 On February 17, a dozen San Jos\u00e9 State University students gathered outside the administrative building to protest corporate war profiters that were participating in the Career Center\u2019s Job & Internship. Students held signs that read \u201cNo war with Venezuela\u201d and \u201cFree Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Protester John Duroyan explained that Hewlett Packard Enterprise \u201creadily aid and abet Israel\u2019s apartheid state, providing the Israelis with software and surveillance technologies, to better track and detain Palestinians.\u201d<\/p>\n
While students gathered outside, five San Jos\u00e9 State University students and alumni crowded the upstairs of the Student Union where the university\u2019s career center was hosting the spring jobs fair.<\/p>\n
For 20 minutes, the five students chanted, \u201cNot another nickel, not another dime, no more money for Trump\u2019s crimes\u201d inside the student union and \u201cCut ties with Lockheed now.\u201d When the students began chanting, university administration attempted to stop the group from taking up space and speaking out against these companies on campus.<\/p>\n
University administration eventually shifted tactics from body blocking to holding a measly written note on printer paper. It read, \u201cYou are in violation of Time, Place & Manner. Please take your protest outside or you will be referred to university conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n
While chanting, the protesters dispersed zines to the students waiting to enter the career fair. The zines read, \u201cGeneral Dynamics has ties to ICE and CBP and makes software to process and store data about your facial and body features or behaviors, an essential tool for CBP and ICE.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with the zines, the protesters held up posters with pictures of Hind Rajab, the five-year-old girl in Gaza who was murdered along with her family members in 2024. They also held up pictures of detention centers where ICE holds people that they have kidnapped.<\/p>\n
Eventually, university admin shut down the line into the career fair, and soon students were only allowed to exit the career fair but not enter. The line was shut down for one hour. After the line was shut down, the protesting students inside joined the protest that was taking place outside, merging the two actions.<\/p>\n
Together, the students marched around the student union, chanting, \u201cAdmin, admin you can\u2019t hide, you\u2019re supporting genocide.\u201d They faced admin once again, but this time admin watched from the inside of the student union, refusing to listen to student\u2019s demands for no jobs for genocide. The action continued for the next 40 minutes before concluding with a call to action for San Jos\u00e9 State University to cut ties with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin.<\/p>\n
Later that week students planned on protesting a Lockheed Martin internship information session occurring on campus. However, as a result of the career fair disruption, Lockheed Martin and administration quietly moved the information session online with short notice, a partial victory for students\u2019 \u201cLockheed off campus\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n
