Day of Action – Demand for Arms Embargo and Ceasefire

An event titled “Day of Action” will take place on October 23, 2024, demanding that the Biden/Harris campaign institute an arms embargo against Israel and enact an immediate ceasefire. Organized by Instagram accounts @noceasefirenovotepa, @listentowisconsin, and @nopeacenopeach, the protest will span Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Though the event is not campus-specific, student involvement is expected, particularly in Pennsylvania.

Given the heated rhetoric surrounding these events and their anti-U.S. foreign policy demands, there is significant concern that tensions may escalate into unsafe situations. Past protests organized by these groups have seen aggressive actions and created environments where tempers flare, heightening the risk of violence or confrontation.

Organizers’ History:

The groups behind this event are known for their extreme rhetoric and calls for radical political change. Their protests often involve hostile messaging, sometimes glorifying resistance in ways that fuel aggression. This has led to increased concerns about the safety of both protestors and bystanders during their events.

For Your Safety:

• Avoid protest locations: Stay clear of areas in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin where these protests will occur. Confrontations and disruptions are possible, especially as tensions escalate.
• Stay informed: Keep up with law enforcement reports and check the Protect Our Campus website and social media channels for real-time updates on potential risks:
  • X (Twitter)
  • Instagram
• Remain vigilant: Exercise caution in public spaces, and do not engage with protestors, as past events have shown that even peaceful demonstrations can quickly turn hostile.
