The Abolitionist Learning Zone (ALZ) was founded by a group of students at the end of the 2022 Fall semester. Inspired by the Critical Perspectives program, ALZ is committed to continuing their education through a critical lens, building community, and fostering leftist politics within the law school. ALZ values a community education platform that decenters the rigid pedagogy of law school. ALZ also values critiquing the legacies of oppression and how the law supports it. ALZ chose an abolitionist lens because they believe in the destruction of harmful systems and building ones that center care in their place.

Northeastern Law Students for Justice in Palestine advocates for the total liberation of the Palestinian people. We work to support Palestinian self-determination in its totality, including advocating for an end to all settlements, the blockade and siege on Gaza, the apartheid system, the imprisonment, and the incessant genocide of its people. In doing so, we stand firmly with the Palestinian people's right to resist their oppressor by any means necessary. We aim to center and amplify Palestinian voices in an attempt to clarify the blatant misinformation and propaganda perpetuated by mainstream media. Through direct action, outreach, education, and coalition building with other social justice groups, we hope to be a small part of a larger movement to Free Palestine.
