Northwestern University staff and students set up an encampment on the Evanston campus Thursday morning to show support for Palestine.
Roughly 20 tents were put up around 7 a.m. in Deering Meadow between Deering Library and Sheridan Road on the university's campus. Educators for Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace and the Student Liberation Union planned the encampment, citing student and alumni opposition to what they say are partnerships that legitimize genocide and occupation in Palestine.
The groups issued a statement Thursday morning, condemning the university:"Northwestern students report the administration is curtailing free speech. The school is intimidating both students and educators who speak out against Israeli apartheid and occupation. The student liberation encampment will create a safe space for those who want to show their support of the Palestinian people.
