The University of California- Berkeley is among the latest campuses to join in on the anti-Israel protests sweeping the country, as students occupied part of the Bay Area campus Monday during a sit-in.
UCB Divest, a coalition of students, staff and faculty members, is one of the organizations leading the charge and calling on the community to come out and support their group, in what they call the first encampment of its kind on the West coast, during the occupation of Sproul Plaza.
“WE NEED YOU HERE! We will need you every night throughout this week to take up space with us. We know the Bay Area will not disappoint,” the group posted on Instagram.

Protests have erupted at many Ivy League schools and spread to other schools as well, with more than 100 protesters being arrested at Columbia University and the school moving to a fully hybrid learning system for the remainder of the school year.
Fox News Digital reached out to the University of California- Berkeley for comment.
