Pro-Palestinian rallies, events held across CSU system on ‘day of action’ but no disturbances

Pro-Palestinian protesters urged students throughout California State University’s Southern California campuses to take part in a CSU-wide day of action on Wednesday, May 8, as tensions continue to flare over the Israel-Hamas war.

No major outbreaks were reported in the greater Los Angeles area, however. Across a number of college campuses, including non-CSU campuses, students held teach-ins and other activities while calling on university officials to divest from Israel and businesses with ties to Israel, and related demands.
