DENVER — Pro-Palestinian activists called on students at Denver’s Auraria campus to walk out of class Monday and join the encampment at Tivoli Quad where dozens of students have been calling on university officials to cut financial ties with Israel over its war in Gaza.
“As Israel continues its assault on Gaza, we remain steadfast in our fight for our universities to completely divest from Israel,” the call-to-action on the group’s Instagram page states. On the @AurariaCampus, students continue camping out on Monday. They’re asking other students join them in a class walkout at noon. @DenverChannel pic.twitter.com/v0QY0fHmeA
The nationwide protests calling on university officials to separate themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel’s military efforts in Gaza — and in some cases from Israel itself — follow Israel’s response in Gaza after a surprise attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, in which militants killed 1,139 people, most of them civilians, and took roughly 250 hostages.
