The Last 12 Hours

In the final 12 hours of the Pro-Palestine student encampment at George Washington University’s U-Yard, students continued their protest against the Biden administration’s response to the War in Gaza and alleged university ties to Israeli funding. The images capture the tense conclusion of this nationwide protest wave, as students marched toward President Granberg’s residence, projected an image of President Biden onto a main campus building, and ultimately faced D.C. Metropolitan Police intervention. As police dispersed the encampment, protesters were pushed toward nearby Western Market, with some requiring aid after being pepper-sprayed.
