On April 29, 2024, hundreds of UNC community members and protesters sat on the Chapel Hill campus’ Polk Place, entering their 72nd consecutive hour on the quad in protest of Israel’s military action in Gaza and the university’s administration’s unwillingness to take a stand as well. One day later, the scenes were much more charged — as demonstrators criticized UNC leaders and police for arresting people over violations of its public space policy and for cleaning out the area.

One year later, pro-Palestine activists returned to Polk Place for an anniversary demonstration with a similar message, but a toned-down approach.

To honor of one year since the Triangle-Gaza Solidarity Encampment, dozens of university students and faculty gathered on Tuesday to hear speeches and programming about Palestine, historical examples of protest against oppression, and the current protest movement at UNC. The campus’ chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine — who organized both Tuesday’s event and the 2024 encampment — reiterated during the event that its requests of the university remain the same: disclose investments and divest from companies that support Israel’s attacks on Palestinian communities amid the county’s war against Hamas.
