Historians for Peace and Democracy Responds to the AHA’s Veto of the Scholasticide Resolution

January 17, 2025

The American Historical Association Council’s decision to veto our resolution is a shocking decision. It overturns an unprecedented landslide vote at the January 5 Business Meeting, where 82% of the 520 members present voted for our resolution. Given that Council itself was clearly divided, with four of the sixteen members opposing the veto and one abstaining, Council should have allowed the entire membership to vote, as was the case with the 2007 resolution opposing the war in Iraq. Instead, the Council majority have arrogated the decision to themselves in a profoundly undemocratic way.

A Smashing Victory at the AHA! Our Resolution to Oppose Scholasticide in Gaza passed with 428 votes in favor and only 88 votes opposed.
Thanks to all who attended and voted and a special thank you to our amazing speakers: Professors Sherene Seikaly, Paul Ortiz, Jr., Raz Segal, Van Gosse, and Barbara Weinstein!
Stay tuned for more as the struggle continues.

The AHA Business Meeting is coming up soon! Make sure your AHA membership is up to date so you can attend and vote in support of our Resolution to Oppose Scholasticide in Gaza!
