“What’s going on in Gaza is absolutely unacceptable and our school as an institution rooted in the Lasallian tradition needs to be 100% on board with what we’re demanding,” …
Twenty students from St. Mary’s College in Moraga occupied a chapel and eight students began a hunger strike on Wednesday night to push the university to disclose all of its financial investments and divest from any corporations supporting Israel’s war in Gaza.
“I wanted to call attention to the genocide that’s happening in Palestine,” said Gutierrez. “I didn’t want to be complicit in it in any sense of the word. If it changes how the university is complicit in it, then I’ll do anything in my power to change it.” Through Thursday afternoon, the demonstration remained peaceful and the students allowed non-participants to enter the chapel to exercise their religious rights. Gutierrez said that some people have had issues with the occupation and have gone in trying to take down their decorations.
