On the #UTAustin campus, activists hold up names of students and educators killed in Gaza, along with facts about the damage war has done to education.
The South Lawn, where protesters are gathering to support #Palestine. This is the site of many of the arrests last week but things are calm right now, sharing supplies and holding teach-ins. #UTAustin
Activists are linking arms and have tables in the way to protect those putting up tents at the South Lawn of #UTAustin. Police are here but outnumbered.
Barricades are going up around the clock tower and I've seen some state troopers on motorcycles approaching the area. Activists are still chanting and holding space.
