Who is Aleela Taylor?
Aleela Taylor, a 2023 Justice Fellow of the Americans for Immigrant Justice, is known for her advocacy for diversity and inclusion during her law school years. She has made efforts to remove colonial identifiers and promote Indigenous representation. She currently works to ensure fair access to justice for unaccompanied minors in Miami.
Taylor has been active in initiatives such as the Public Interest in Law program, the Black Law Students Association, and the Native American Law Students Association.
However, his removal of the posters is controversial as it is a form of protest. The removal of the posters took place against the background of the Israel-Hamas conflict, which has claimed thousands of lives. Recently, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced on Thursday that at least 9,061 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed and more than 32,000 Palestinians were injured in the conflict.
Approximately 1,400 people died on the Israeli side; The majority of this record number were civilians killed in Hamas’ initial offensive.
This led to a significant increase in antisemitism in the United States, especially in the wake of the Israel-Gaza violence. According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, approximately 60 percent of religion-based hate crimes target Jewish individuals. Britain and France also reported increases in antisemitic incidents.
