The Campus Insurrection: Who's Organizing, Funding, and Fueling It

April 2025 - Decode the Left has released a landmark report titled The Campus Insurrection: Who's Organizing, Funding, and Fueling It, providing the most comprehensive analysis of the 2024-2025 Free Palestine protest wave on American campuses.

The report documents how a coalition of student groups, political organizations, legal nonprofits, labor unions, and media outlets worked together to mobilize a national movement, using the university system as both a staging ground and a target.

Key highlights from the report include:
-Over 30 detailed profiles of student organizers, outside agitators, and institutional support networks
-A timeline of protest escalation from October 2023 to April 2025
-Clear analysis of funding pipelines, including fiscal sponsors, labor backing, and progressive grant networks
-A strategic breakdown of the ideology and tactics driving the movement-from encampments to building takeovers to strikes
-Tactical recommendations for engaging, negotiating with, or containing each group based on structure, ideology, and escalation behavior

Drawing on over a year of independent research conducted by author Karlyn Borysenko, the report profiles core organizations driving the movement, including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and others. These groups were not simply reacting to world events. They were already embedded in campus ecosystems, prepared to escalate, and unified by a shared anti-capitalist political agenda.

The report makes clear that the 2024-2025 campus protest wave was not spontaneous. It was the result of coordinated action by a politically aligned movement that sees the university as both a symbol and a system to be dismantled.
