Protesters and commuters travel down the main sidewalk of DePaul University's Quad on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. On the opposite end of the quad, organizers served dinner to demonstrators and a handful of community members brought by donations of toiletries, food, water and other supplies.
Members of DePaul’s encampment, protesting for DePaul to divest from Israel, spent their first night on the Quad on Tuesday. They awoke Wednesday morning, securing a 24-hour encampment. At 9 a.m. on May 1, about 40 tents lined DePaul’s Quad. Many protestors, including non-student community members, participated in United DePaul’s labor protest at 11 a.m. DePaul’s Divestment Coalition intends to remain in the quad until their demands are met.
