00:00 Police were called to break up encampments at both the University of Southern California
00:04 and the University of Texas at Austin, using more or less force to remove the mostly pro-Palestinian
00:10 demonstrators, that force, organizers say, will only serve to encourage more student
00:16 action.
00:17 What we just saw was an act of USC acting aggressively and failing to defend and, in
00:25 fact, being the aggressor against the students, against the student body, who were protesting
00:30 completely peacefully and acting incredibly violently towards the occupier, towards one
00:37 of the members of our movement.
00:40 And luckily everyone was able to rally around him.
00:44 We want the university to disclose its financial holdings and divest from its relationships
00:50 with financial institutions and we want the university to recognize and acknowledge to
00:57 its student body that there is a genocide happening to our families in Gaza.
01:01 It has taken the lives of 34,000 people.
01:04 It is continuing to this day and starving one million more people.
