UW Students for a Democratic Society held a rally of about 25 people on the quad today, then marched to Gerberding Hall (where administration has their offices) and ended at Odegaard Library for a “study-in” (with someone people under a shelter tent outside the library and some people inside; in theory to continue indefinitely). SDS is a far left group but the demands were surprisingly specific and normie (legal defense funds for students targeted by ICE, using the existing UW alerts system to alert students if ICE is on campus). One of the chants was “U of O, UC too, if they can do it why can’t you?” referencing the fact that the University of Oregon and the University of California use their alerts system for ICE presence, and UC also has a legal fund for students facing immigration issues. submitted by /u/bennetthaselton |
