LOS ANGELES – Demonstrations at UCLA extend into the second day, with both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine supporters intensifying their presence on campus.

Camp-In Protest at UCLA

A camp-in protest initiated on Thursday continues at UCLA, with organizers and students maintaining a physical presence on the campus grounds. The camp has undergone enhancements, now fortified with metal fencing and private security personnel to ensure safety and control access.

Inside the fenced-off area in the quad, demonstrators have established amenities such as a buffet table, reading library, and medical tent, aiming to sustain the protest over an extended period.

Calls for University Divestment

Organizers, including members of Students for Justice in Palestine and the UC Divest Coalition at UCLA, advocate for the university to divest from any investments linked to Israel. Additionally, they demand UCLA’s public declaration of a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Kaia Shah, a protest organizer and UCLA researcher, emphasized the importance of their cause, expressing disappointment in the university’s response to their demands.
