Dueling demonstrations are set at UCLA Sunday by outside groups planning to show support for a growing encampment of pro- Palestinian protesters on the campus along with counter-protesters rallying around the university's Jewish students.Members of the Harriet Tubman Center for Social Justice have set a 9:30 a.m. demonstration to support students' right to protest. The group's planned gathering comes in response to a request from pro-Palestine protesters at the campus.
Organizers of UCLA's "Palestine Solidarity Encampment," similar to their counterparts at USC, issued a list of demands calling for divestment of all University of California and UCLA Foundation funds from companies tied to Israel, along with a demand that the university call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war and an academic boycott by UC against Israeli universities, including a suspension of study-abroad programs.
