Carleton Board of Governors Shutdown

On 29 March 2011, students at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, shut down the scheduled Board of Governors (BoG) meeting after the body refused to consider a motion calling for divestment of pension stock from four companies implicated in Israel's occupation of Palestine. The direct action was led by Students Against Israeli Apartheid (SAIA), and received the support and participation of 25 allied campus student groups, as well as faculty, staff and community members. I wasn't present at the demonstration, but managed to cut a video using footage shot by several others, including Lia Tarachansky from the Real News Network.
