#CampusProtests

Pro-Palestinian encampments that swept American universities.

Origin & Impact

Spring 2024 saw waves of pro-Palestinian protests and encampments at universities across America, with Columbia, UCLA, and dozens of other schools experiencing dramatic confrontations. The protests demanded divestment from Israel and sparked intense debates about free speech, antisemitism, and academic freedom.

Viral moments included the UNC frat boys defending the American flag, tent encampments being cleared by police, and university presidents facing congressional hearings. The protests became a generational dividing line and influenced the 2024 election discourse around youth voters.
