(Davis, CA) — A pro-Palestinian protest encampment is now in place at U.C. Davis. The encampment was set up Monday morning, in the campus’ Memorial Union Quad. UC Davis says it was presented with a list of demands from the protesters and is actively monitoring the situation.
A group called Davis Popular University for the Liberation of Palestine says it is demanding the university divest from Israel, which it calls a “genocidal Zionist state.” Video from U.C. Davis shows about two-dozen tents in the quad.
