Anti-Israel protestors plan to gather again Tuesday on the University of Texas at Austin campus, following dozens of arrests on Monday after hundreds of protesters set up a surprise encampment on the university’s lawn.

“Join us TODAY, Tuesday the 30th, as we will be discussing the history of Palestine, key aspects of the movement, and modern context under colonial systems,” the Palestine Solidarity Committee wrote Tuesday morning on Instagram.
