UMKC students have set up a Liberated Zone and are demanding the university to promptly divest all investments linked to the Palestinian genocide. Despite the university’s attempts to intimidate them into leaving, the students stand firm. They resisted when the university tried to remove the tents from the liberated zone and even engaged in physical altercations. Yet, the students remain undeterred, asserting they fear neither the university nor its attempts to silence them. Their resolve is unwavering, and they vow to persist until their demands are addressed.
