One of the largest demonstrations was at UC Berkeley where more than a thousand people gathered in Sproul Plaza.
Thousands of students across the Bay Area walked out of classes Wednesday as part of a planned demonstration to show support for the people of Gaza during the ongoing conflict.'What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!' chanted dozens of protestors as they walked toward the rally at the plaza.Many of the people holding signs and flats at the demonstration were wearing some type of mask.
They pointed to numerous examples of backlash they say they could face, including on the UC Berkeley campus where corporate law professor Steven Solomon recently wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal titled 'Don't Hire My Anti-Semetic Law Students'.On the East Coast, students at Harvard and NYU have had job offers revoked or been blacklisted by employers after signing letters expressing support for the people of Palestine.
