From @escalatenetwork:

After 3+ hours, the Gaza solidarity encampment remains. Protesters have physically resisted police incursions repeatedly. Police majors on-scene are now visibly infighting and falling out of rank due to heat exhaustion.

📍Wake Forest University

Earlier this week, Wake Forest students who set up a Gaza solidarity encampment were forced to dismantle under threat of suspension, large police presence and unchecked Zionist aggression. Black and brown students reported police racism. “We condemn the University for their hostile, aggressive, and racist actions against students speaking up against a genocide.”

📍University of Virginia

Virginia State Police, in full riot gear, are cracking down on the UVA Gaza solidarity encampment. Pepper spray has been liberally deployed. This is the same city (Charlottesville) where white supremacists were given free reign to terrorize residents just a few years ago.

Get down there and support your comrades now! Free Palestine!

📍University of Chicago

FREE THEM ALL! Fred Hampton Jr., son of martyred Black Panther leader Fred Hampton, spoke to the University of Chicago Gaza solidarity encampment last night. He connected the struggles from the Congo to Palestine to the US, amplifying a worldwide rallying cry: FREE THEM ALL!

🇵🇸DAILY DISPATCH (5/4/3024)🇵🇸

Tonight, the IOF continues to bombard Rafah, where over a million forcibly displaced Palestinians are sheltering. In recent weeks, Israel has murdered dozens of civilians, including young children, in indiscriminate bombing raids. As universities cynically weaponize “campus safety” to brutalize protesters, we remember that Israel has intentionally destroyed every university in Gaza.

Do not lose sight of our mission, comrades! Everything for Gaza! Hands off Rafah! Free Palestine!
