UNC: ‘Walk Out’ Protest for Palestine Leads to ‘Significant Damage’ of Buildings

The organization UNC Students for Justice in Palestine held a demonstration on UNC campus Thursday afternoon, which resulted in the disruption of class and vandalism of several university buildings.

A group of campus community members organized a “walk out” of classes and their jobs in a demonstration of solidarity with Palestinians, as the region continues to be heavily impacted by the Israel-Hamas war. The protest’s participants marched across parts of central campus and into several buildings after gathering at the steps of Wilson Library for speakers to share their concerns.
