Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE) is a diverse group of student activists organized to promote justice, human rights, liberation, and self-determination for the Palestinian people.
The group organized a 2009 Palestine Conference on the U of Michigan campus.
On October 9th and 10th, SAFE, in collaboration with Pakistani Students Association and Palestinian Students Association, held a conference at the University to assess and explore the current situation Palestinians find themselves in as a result of more than 60 years of dispossession, occupation, and colonization. The conference featured seven speakers including three academics - Joel Kovel, Hani Bawardi, and Ghada Karmi - and four activists - Yousef Munayyer, Fayyad Sbaihat, Will Youmans, and Ali Abunimah; and was proceeded by a Palestine Freedom Walk sponsored by the American Association for Palestinian Equal Rights.
