UO students have launched a solidarity encampment for Palestine

At 7am PST today, UO students began occupying the Knight Lawn at the University of Oregon. We will camp until our demands are met, in solidarity with the people of Palestine, who are still enduring an unthinkable genocide at the hands of the Israeli government.

Our Demands:

1. Divest the 2.8 billion dollars that have been funneled into weapon manufacturing companies.

2. Implement a boycott, divest, sanctions campaign on campus.

3. Affirm the safety and security of Palestinian, Jewish, Arab, and Muslim students.

4. Condemn the genocide against Palestinians.

5. Provide formal protections for students and staff to speak their support for Palestine.

6. Provide education that exposes the true nature of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

7. End all academic exchanges and relations with Israeli universities.

Support us by venmo or donating materials directly!
