How do we go from meeting boycott to member democracy? We remain clear on our goal: heeding Palestinian civil society's call for institutional BDS. We outline at least three paths to get there. Join the movement by pledging to #BoycottASA: tinyurl.com/BoycottASA2026

We are finally seeing ASA leadership recognize the ASA meeting boycott and its impacts, to the point where they're extending the deadline to June 15, and committing to an early council meeting to "work towards a resolution." Keep up the pressure! As we've been saying, boycotts work!

On May 27, join us for an interactive session, where attendees will have the opportunity to engage S4P organizers directly on issues including boycott logistics, tactics and strategy, and support of junior scholars. Let’s show ASA what democracy looks like! TINYURL.COM/5RTW5EKX

Yes. As I discuss with students, mass migration is not settler colonialism. Settler colonialism is a specific type of state-building project. In the 1960s Fayez Sayegh pointed to features of state-building. A "settler community” had to be built and developed into a “settler-state.”

To do so: 1. Don't resign! 2. Skip registration. 3. Work with your section to hold a remote or offsite session. 4. If you have to go, then: A. Don't stay in the ASA hotel block. B. Participate in protest inside the conference.

Are you upset about the actions of the ASA leadership? Do you want a more democratic ASA, but are unsure of what to do? Support S4P's call to boycott the ASA registration fees and hotel block this August!

This promises to be fantastic! Wish I was in Chicago.

Join S4P for a Town Hall on the Palestine exception and the crisis of democracy at the American Sociological Association! Featuring @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social, @saigrundy.bsky.social, Gay Seidman and Howard Winant!

SIGN! and please spread the word to your fellow sociologists who want a democractic ASA!

Many of you have reached out with how you can contribute to the pressure campaign to get the 2026 Resolution for the Boycott of Israeli Academic Institutions on the ASA ballot. ✨Here are three things that you can do today...

I'd like to be at ASA in NYC this August. I've helped organize a few panels and am on an awards committee. However, if the ASA leadership does not allow the resolution to be considered through the existing procedures, I am more than happy to boycott the meeting.

S4P rejects ASA leadership's authoritarian decision to bypass its own procedures & membership engagement re: our BDS resolution. If the resolution is not considered via existing procedures we will BOYCOTT the 2026 meeting. SIGN ON TO JOIN US: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Caitlin Schroering writes "it is unacceptable to deny ASA members ... a vote on the question of a boycott of Israeli academic institutions. I support this petition because ... Israel is engaged in apartheid, occupation, and genocide against the Palestinian people, including scholasticide."

Echoing my former colleague Joel to say LET US VOTE!!!

In another letter to ASA membership, a student writes "I'm left struggling to see what the purpose of this organization is, or my place within it. I will not be renewing my membership or attending the conference."

In response to the email I recieved as a member of @asanews.bsky.social, we could be unified against genocide and istead ASA leadership is using the ruse of unity to protect the status quo! www.sociologistsforpalestine.org/resolutions

We are appalled at this undemocratic action. More on collective response coming soon. In the meantime, follow us for updates. If you sent ASA a response tag us & we'll amplify. If you prefer to remain anonymous, send it to us on our email (in bio) & we'll share it here. Together we will win 🇵🇸

Woke up still angry about that ASA email. My reply yesterday was a longer rant, but if you're also frustrated by this decision, a quick expression of frustration/dissatisfaction/concern and a line on how this may influence your future membership is a light lift. #sociology

So @asanews.bsky.social emailed its membership its refusal to put a petition to Boycott, Divest, & Sanction Israel up to a vote, one that already had 438 signatures. This undemocratic decision, they wrote, is because they're worried about membership dropping. Well do I have news for you.

Suicides increased fivefold when adolescents on the waitlist were told they would be permanently waitlisted. 45 kids and untold relatives of these kids are now grieving. And still they are like, but wait, we don't have enough evidence.

AI has always been war machinery. Not “now.” And universities are developing and promoting it as if it can be used otherwise. Don’t fall for it.

In job talks fellow sociologists asked how I would tailor my courses to be useful for students’ futures and marketable skills, the implication being that my teaching portfolio on ongoing settler colonialism, race, militarism, and empire would not attract students interested in getting a job…

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

To quote my favorite movie Matewan: "Any union that keeps a worker out on account of his race ain't a union. It's a goddam club." This Labor Day, read about the brave people who desegregated the labor movement. Buy my book "Freedom Train": ucpress.edu/books/freedo.... @ucpress.bsky.social

My department is hiring! We seek to hire an Assistant Professor in Global Black Geographies whose work engages "with the spatial dimensions of life in African and/or Black diasporic communities in the Global South". Job ad with more details: aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05026

I am not going to #ASA2025 this year but I hope everyone has an engaging time. Most especially, I hope the panels and events centering Palestine go well and push the discipline in more radical directions. It's past time for ASA to boycott and divest from Israel.

[1/5] Please take a look at our most recent statement on the successful BDS mobilization at the 5th International Sociological Association (ISA) Forum of Sociology in Rabat earlier this month: drive.proton.me/urls/AEVX3HF...

WATCH — @peterbeinart.bsky.social : “Why did it take this long? We are profoundly complicit. The blood is on our hands as Americans because it is our weapons responsible for those children starving to death in Gaza… if Israel disagrees, let CNN’s cameras in.”

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
