🚨❤️‍🔥🇵🇸CHICAGO WE NEED YALL!!!

SHOW UP TN TO PROTECT ENCAMPMENT AT 8 PM

updated call for supplies!!!! donations are preferred, but finds are always helpful!!

UPDATE ON PIGS: their cars left the encampment and have been mostly leaving us alone—the strategy is that they give us this one day to save face on the free speech end and then end the encampment by tonight to move forward with their event plans for tmrw—so again: show up at 8 PM!!

after a failed negotiation meeting with admin tonight, we are committing to maintaining our encampment until all our demands are met. this means that NU will likely be sending NUPD to start arrests to clear the encampment. already, chicago has rallied around us and nearly ALL of deering lawn is completely full. OUR COMMUNITY KEEPS STUDENTS SAFE—we are prepared to protect students by forming a barrier for students on encampment

let us be clear: this call to action is to serve students and our goals—we must maintain the safety of encampment members first and foremost

thanks to pressure from community, we are not expecting police arrests to begin tonight, but will remain vigilant! for those leaving the encampment tonight, please come back as early as 5 AM

of course NU is not letting us sleep in peace as sprinklers have been activated throughout the lawn and are slowly getting closer to main encampment area

GOOD MORNING!! We are officially entering our second day in the liberation zone and are committed to staying as long as it takes for NU to accept our demands!! The outpouring of support from community was beautiful yesterday, and we’d love to continue seeing folks cheering students on! For all faculty here: we encourage you all to move your classes to the encampment to be in community with your students who are reclaiming campus!

Gofundme until we can fix our Venmo:

RAIN HAS BEGUN AND WE NEED SUPPLIES TO PROTECT THE ENCAMPMENT—IF DONATIONS CAN BE MOBILIZED NOW, RATHER THAN FUNDS, TO BRING TARPS, TENTS, CANOPIES, PONCHOS, ETC PLEASE FACILITATE

UPDATE ON NEGOTIATIONS AND WORKING WITH ADMIN: After over 50 hours on the encampment, we are continuing productive conversations with Northwestern administration on a plan to achieve concrete and meaningful positive change to serve the Northwestern community as a whole. We are committed to staying on Deering Meadow for as long as it takes for Northwestern to become serious about divesting from death. Northwestern University has an opportunity to be a model for the nation by continuing the path of engaging in good-faith conversations with students toward a productive and peaceful resolution without the shadow of arrests and suspensions. We are hopeful that Northwestern will not engage NUPD this weekend. As we continue our active programming, we encourage the community to continue to respect the autonomy of students, on the terms of students, and to uphold our principles of peaceful protest and inclusivity. We encourage the Northwestern community––especially faculty––to continue standing in solidarity with us, as students. We have never been more energized to stand shoulder to shoulder with Palestinians to demand justice for all.

-- NIGHT 3 ٣ LOGISTICS --
The encampment has reached its capacity (for now) please do not bring more tents.

If you need a tent, there are several that are not being used. Ask around.

For the benefit of encampment goals, we are advising non university members to not stay overnight. We appreciate the support and love and look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

As a part of wind down, we'd like to remind everyone that the city of Evanston's noise ordinance goes into effect at 11PM tonight. Let's get a good recharge so we can bring the energy tomorrow!

Weather: rain looks to start tonight around 1:30AM and WILL CONTINUE to 3PM TOMORROW! Please help cover and secure tents and cover art / food / humans.

Much love to you all 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

URGENT: We need folks on Deering Meadow to help hold the line against counterprotest

UPDATE: WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE COUNTER PROTESTERS OFF. WE ARE GOOD
