(Sacramento, CA) — Pro-Palestinian protesters at Sacramento State University must clear out of their encampment by tonight. That’s according to the university’s latest update. Dozens of people have been camping in tents on the campus’ library quad since April 29th, calling for the university to divest from Israel. Members of the encampment marched through campus on Tuesday, going through the student union and by the president’s office before holding an hour of speeches.
The California State University system has not announced any plans to meet students’ demands by cutting financial ties with companies associated with Israel. The encampment has remained peaceful, which was the university’s condition for allowing it to stay until tonight.
