The black, green, red and white color of the Palestinian flag fly on Wednesday at Quarry Plaza at UC Santa Cruz as around 200 UCSC students joined thousands of young people across the country to protest against the Israeli siege of Gaza. Speakers at the rally and subsequent march called for an end to Zionism. SANTA CRUZ — Hundreds of UC Santa Cruz students gathered Wednesday at the Quarry Plaza on the UCSC campus to demand the university divestment from weapons manufacturers and an end to U.S.
The mobilization of students on more than 100 campuses nationwide was organized by National Students for Justice in Palestine, Palestinian Youth Movement, Dissenters, Arab Resource Organizing Center, Anakbayan USA, Resist US-Led War, and the Muslim Student Association, among others. Many of the students, faculty and staff marching in support of a ceasefire had a friend or loved one who was directly affected by the war such as UCSC junior Andrew Jordan, who was inspired to walk out of class and march in support of a ceasefire because his partner is Palestinian.
UC Santa Cruz students rally on Wednesday at Quarry Plaza on campusagainst Israel’s siege of Gaza . “Thank you all for being here and choosing to walk out in support of the struggle for Palestinian freedom,” said Mogannam. “Today we say no to business as usual, no to the U.S. complicity in the genocide of Palestinian people, and no to the UC’s complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people.”
