Campus encampment grows as UW-Milwaukee Chancellor says 'it must end'

It's day 11 of protest and an encampment on UW-Milwaukee's campus. A day that felt quiet compared to previous days. A rainy day meant tents were covered in tarps and there was only a handful of protesters walking around.
However, organizers said they aren't slowing down.
"Students still have high morale so I'm still ya know feeling good about what we are doing here,” protest organizer, Kayla Patterson explained.
Organizers are happy with the community's involvement. They have had to extend the encampment walls because more people joined in on the protest.

And they’re still negotiating (on taxpayer dime) because?

[@ComradeIceSpice]

They want UWM to divest funding to Israel and companies that support the occupation. It’s that simple, and it’s worked.

Joe Biden was going to go over there and hand out free ice cream cones and eat ice cream cones with them

😂

[@TheRealLukeOlson]

Missed opportunity to say “These protestors are in-tents.”

[@naynayy1412]

Im embarrassed to say i went there

[@ComradeIceSpice]

And I’ve been there countless of times, and nothing violent has happened.

Our troops should've been supported in the 60's & 70's, and Israel should be supported as well.

[@ComradeIceSpice]

I’ve been down there countless of times and have friends who are students at UWM, and I’ve seen them dancing, giving speeches, and giving out food. I’m not gonna listen to the media framing these students and others across the world as “violent”.
They are doing the same as students who were against the Vietnam war, the same as the students who were against the apartheid in South Africa, keep on.

these protestors support violence against Israel. Evidence is on their signs and their chants.

Those tents will be down soon. Tik-tok.⏳
