On Friday morning, more than 75 students gathered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to establish an encampment. The purpose of the encampment was to demand that the university divest from corporations that invest in Israel and its military operations, as reported by The Daily Tar Heel.
Students began arriving at the site shortly after 10:00 a.m. ET. They wasted no time in setting up tents and banners that expressed solidarity with Palestinians. This demonstration follows a previous protest encampment earlier in the week, which was reportedly shut down by UNC police.
