www.linkedin.comFranklin Taveras can often spot a veteran on the streets of New York City… | New York UniversityFranklin Taveras can often spot a veteran on the streets of New York City before they even exchange words. “Sometimes I’ll see how a guy has his boots laced and I’ll know he’s airborne,” Taveras says, referring to the distinctive way that paratroopers secure their boots. “When veterans see me, some say, ‘You stand like you're at attention’ because I stand with my thumbs facing forward,” adds Taveras, who joined the Marines in the 1980s. This shared background can lead Taveras into conversations with at-risk veterans focused on what they have in common—their military service—rather than their substance use or unstable housing. He is part of the outreach team for an NIH-funded program led by NYU GPH researcher Alex Bennett to reduce opioid-related harms among veterans. Using a peer model—veterans reaching out to other veterans—the goal is to educate participants and prove them with resources to reduce risky behaviors that can lead to overdoses. A typical day for the team might begin with a visit to a city park. There, they connect with fellow veterans to distribute naloxone, fentanyl test strips, clean syringes, and wound care supplies, and safely collect used syringes. If a veteran is hungry, they bring them a meal. They also share resources on where veterans can access benefits, find housing, do laundry, take a shower, visit a food pantry, apply for jobs, or get a driver’s license. Depending on their readiness for change, veterans can be connected to drug treatment services or appointments at the VA. The research team uses overdose mortality data from New York City’s Department of Health to know where they are most needed. “We meet veterans where they're at: near shelters in Long Island City, in the South Bronx, in Washington Square Park and Tompkins Square Park, at restaurants or coffee shops,” Bennet says. “And if they want to come to NYU, we welcome them to our space here.” Read more about this work: https://lnkd.in/eFT_c23g 📷 Tracey Friedman

Stand With Logan Rozos: Sign Attorney Faisal Kutty's Global Letter to NYU - Action Network

———

>> New York University is withholding Logan Rozos' diploma.

>> Now lawyer and law professor Faisal Kutty has sent a letter calling on NYU …

Scroll far down to find the full letter.

“... I am deeply disturbed by New York University’s decision to withhold the diploma of Gallatin valedictorian Logan Rozos following his brief but courageous acknowledgment of the ongoing atrocities in Palestine during his commencement address.

“There are moments in history when institutions are tested—not for their administrative efficiency or procedural compliance—but for their moral clarity. This was one such moment, and NYU failed.

“The notion that Mr. Rozos committed some form of institutional betrayal by deviating from an approved speech is both legally weak and ethically shameful…”

Universities in the West are punishing students for mentioning Israel's US-funded genocide of Palestinians in their commencement speeches.

The hypocrisy of recruiting kids promising them the kind of education they can use to make the world better, and then slamming them for daring to do so.

Parents should think twice to send their kids off to these fascist, cowardly institutions. Nothing good can come of it.

World-Outlook · In Graduation Speech, NYU Student Condemns U.S.-backed Israeli War in GazaOn May 14, Logan Rozos, a student at New York University (NYU), gave a brief but powerful speech during the graduation ceremony of Gallatin, a liberal arts school within NYU. In his remarks (transcribed by World-Outlook from the video of Rozos’ speech, and published in this post), the student condemned the U.S.-backed Israeli war on the Palestinian people in Gaza. NYU immediately announced it is withholding the student’s diploma as it pursues disciplinary actions against him, in the latest flashpoint between free speech principles and punishment for pro-Palestinian advocacy on U.S. college campuses.

As noted environmental health activist, ecologist and author Sandra Steingraber said on Blue Sky,

"I’m a retired academic and public intellectual who has delivered a few commencement addresses, received some honorary degrees, and sat through innumerable student graduation speeches.

This is the finest, most courageous one I’ve ever heard. Bravo, Logan Rozos."
