On May 2, students at the University of Toronto organized under the banner of UofT Occupy for Palestine seized King's College Circle at the university's St. George Campus, establishing what has come to be known as the People's Circle for Palestine. The People's Circle has now held its ground for over a month, withstanding threats from university administrators, police, and counterprotestors. Students and faculty have transformed the liberated zone into a space for popular education and community empowerment—breaking down the false distinction between the academy and the surrounding society. This solidarity from the wider Toronto community has been essential, as workers, First Nations, and other sectors of society have converged at the People's Circle to lend their solidarity to the student struggle. Award-winning journalist Samira Mohyeddin joins The Marc Steiner Show to give a firsthand account of the student encampment at UofT, and how its reliance on community solidarity has made the movement stronger.
