"We will transform this space into a base for struggle, collective education, and resistance against the institutions that fund, legitimize, and profit from genocide,"
"Our encampment has ended but this is just one battle in a greater fight for Disclosure, Divestment, and a Liberated Palestine,"
"Anas Al-Sharif Union"
"academic boycott of all complicity institutions and companies,"
Pro-Palestine demonstrators attempted to set up an encampment near George Sherman Union on Boston University's Commonwealth Avenue, renaming the site "Anas Al-Sharif Union" in honor of a Palestinian journalist killed by Israeli forces. Activists set up tents, displayed large banners, and called for university divestment, an academic boycott of complicit institutions and companies, amnesty for protesters, and rejection of ICE presence on campus. Police presence increased, with officers threatening arrests as the crowd grew, and demonstrators dispersed later that night. Activists described the action as part of a broader campaign for Disclosure, Divestment, and a Liberated Palestine amid intensified conflict in Gaza.
