Campus protesters of the war in Gaza have been arrested at these New England colleges

Across the country, college students have set up encampments protesting the war in Gaza. Police crackdowns on these encampments have captured national attention. 

 

The protests call on universities to divest themselves financially from companies that contribute to Israel's war effort in Gaza. In the past few days, thousands of students have been arrested around the nation.

 

In the past week, Brown University students took down their encampment voluntarily after a deal was made that school would vote on divestment. But around New England, many of these protests are still happening. Here's a look at where protests are happening.
