The group of students and individuals from the Las Cruces area are urging members of the community to join them in their efforts to protest the war crimes inflicted in Gaza by Israel.

The pro-Palestinian activists drafted a list of their intentions and demands in the form of a letter that was taken to the NMSU administrative offices.

“We don’t agree with what’s going on [in Gaza],” said a student protestor, who preferred to remain anonymous. “That’s like the little thing that I can try and do to help.”
