From Stop the War Machine:

Monday, April 22nd, about 100 UNM students put up a tent camp in solidarity with other students around the country in support of ending the genocide in Palestine. It was also a coalition of about 6 local groups joining with the students. The camp is on the northwest side of the Duck Pond, right outside the window of the campus president.

     Channel 7 covered it live on the 10pm news after the campus president and governor sent the state and campus cops to take down the tents. The camp members then picked up the tents and marched in a picket line for an hour around the camp site. It was a very creative and unusual thing to see, big camping tents rotating around in a picket line and the cops standing and watching.  Eventually the cops pulled back.  

     Later, about 11pm after the news channel left, a large number of cops descended on the camp and took down the tents. The “rule” was that people could be present on the site but no tents or sleeping equipment on campus.

    As of Tuesday the 23rd, the camp is still there with canopy tents, the ones with the UNM lobo logo on the tents. What will happen tonight is not sure but the students are staying.  Supporters are brining food and banners and other items.

     If you have time and can support the students in this solidarity camp please come over and stay as long as you can. With enough numbers we can keep the camp going.

     USA Today has this national campaign as the top headline. This is a crisis because the Zionists appear ready to attack all the people in Rafa and perhaps attack Iran again. The war profiteers here want to silence Americans waking up to the genocide taking place in our name.  You could help also by calling the governor telling her to call off the police attacks and leave the students alone. The campus is state property. You could call the local media also to be there to help defend the camp.
