University of Ottawa Student Encampment

Universities, starting with Columbia University in New York City began rising up in response to the war in Gaza. Today I speak to one of the Student organizer. It began with Students occupying space at these Universities, mostly in the form of an encampment. The demands are almost identical across all of these protests, disclose your investments as an institution, divest the school's investments that are supporting the war, drone manufacturers, arms manufacturers, etc. The University of Ottawa's protest began as a sit in and grew in to an encampment. Today we speak to one of the University of Ottawa organizers, a member of INSAF named Raheem.
