Extra: Protesters stage encampment at USC

Hi again. I’m breaking my “no extra emails” policy to send just one story: easily the biggest piece of news this week that I totally overlooked when choosing stories this morning. My apologies.

1.

USC students erected a “Gaza Solidarity Occupation” encampment in Alumni Park early this morning, joining a growing number of college students across the country staging similar protests. The encampment does not yet feature tents, but students say they plan to stay in the park on tarps and blankets until USC acquiesces to a broad range of demands which include: ending “war profiteering & investment in genocide,” ending “displacement from South Central to Palestine” and implementing a “complete academic boycott of Israel.”
