Hundreds of students attend 'May Day for Palestine' event at UC Davis – Daily Democrat

Stanford McConnehey, one of the event’s organizers and a media liaison for the coalition of student-ran organizations that set up the gathering, explained that the six-hour event was part of a unified student movement going on across the country aimed at getting universities to disclose their investments and to divest in pro-Israel companies. He argued that what happened at UCLA Tuesday evening when protesters and counter-protestors clashed was “really terrifying.”
