Last week (4/25), students at UCLA set up an encampment in Dickson Court to demand that the UC disclose their assets and divest from companies involved in Israel’s war on Gaza. The encampment had been steadily expanding, with demonstrators peacefully engaged in a variety of programming led by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). The demonstration escalated in the previous days through Zionist counter-protestors instigating violence on Tuesday night (4/30) and police raiding the encampment on Wednesday night (5/1), resulting in numerous injuries and arrests of the encampment inhabitants.
