On Wednesday, over 150 7C students gathered on Marston Quad at Pomona College for a vigil, teach-in and die-in as part of an international Shut it Down for Palestine action. These efforts come in the wake of weeks of student organizing at the Claremont Colleges advocating for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and demanding investment disclosure from Pomona’s administration.

This protest comes just over two weeks after hundreds of 7C students walked out of classes to demand Pomona divest from Israeli companies.
