On Monday, April 29, students and community members gathered at the free speech center of campus, the Stallions in the Quad, to demonstrate in support of Palestine. Organized by the Palestinian Solidarity Committee (PSC), students and community members led and participated in chants in a seven hour event. Zayna Abdel-Rahim, International Relations major, then led students on a march through the Quad to Old Main. The protest was Texas State’s most widely attended protest at the Stallions this year. Abdel-Rahim told KVUE:
“I’ve noticed that Texas State does not have a very … politically active community, especially when it comes to protests. I recognize that could be due to the risk that comes with doing an event like this, but it’s just important that if no one else is doing it, I think we should be doing it.”
Several student organizations were in attendance no arrests or major issues arose during the event.
