Protests across the United States continue to spread.

Demonstrators at more than 40 private and public universities/colleges are setting up encampments, calling for their schools to divest from companies linked to Israel and for an end to the war on Gaza.

Several encampments have been broken up by police, some violently.

It has been reported over 500 students have been arrested across various colleges in the country which has only strengthened the resolve of students and faculty.
