SANTA CRUZ — Hundreds of UC Santa Cruz students gathered at Quarry Plaza on the university’s campus around noon Tuesday and swiftly set up a Palestine solidarity encampment similar to those that have formed on college campuses across the state and the country.
Costello mentioned that the encampment was launched on May Day in part to show solidarity with workers alongside Palestinians. “We have security up all night long,” said Lane. “They are working diligently to keep an eye on everything and keep everyone informed. They are amazing.” Outside of the camp’s hodgepodge perimeter, composed of wooden pallets and temporary metal fences, the organizers posted their list of demands, which include a “full and complete divestment of the University of California’s funds from war” elaborating that means weapon manufacturers, the U.S. military and corporations.
