The University System is finding itself in the thick of intense protests at its schools, and students are demanding their requests be met. Good evening. Im ama daetz and im dan ashley. Thanks for joining us. Tension from protesters flaring up again now due to the public University Systems financial involvement in military and proisraeli causes. We watched all day as demonstrations and clashes with police hit multiple campuses. We begin with the situation thats unfolding right now at uc berkeley. A group of protesters has taken over the ucs and ahead alumni hall, across the street from peoples park. Its been sitting empty since a fire two years ago. Abc seven News Reporter j. R stone has the latest on their demands. A day after a compromise was reached to disband the encampment on the uc berkeley campus, propalestinian activists took over a uc berkeley abandoned building. The one directly behind me. This has been peaceful and that is important to note. There is graffiti though now covering parts of this alumni hall building. We have seen online video showing the same inside uc berkeley. Police say some in this group hopped fences and broke windows out to get inside, and there was initially a thought that this was a peoples park protest because its the 55th anniversary of the founding of that park, but that has merged more into gaza. Theyre first going to hear from a woman who is here supporting the people of gaza. Then youll hear from a man who is upset with organizers saying he doesnt know who they are or what the message is. I got here a little late. Why . Why was the building taken over . I didnt take over the building, but we are resisting with palestinians who are the bravest, strongest and most tenacious resisters i ever heard of. They seem to parrot the narratives that are given to them, and only want to focus entirely on on gaza when their own backyard has problems. I mean, they took our park, we have homelessness all throughout california. We have, i mean, the issues of our modern world are endless that are local, but none of these people are local, and none of these people seem to care about the local issues. All they care about is gaza and overseas. Uc berkeley officially says this is a crime scene, and that is Something Different than civil disobedience or nonviolent political protest. The question right now, will this be cleared and will arrest be made . And at this point that is unknown in berkeley, j. R. Stone news and new tonight weve learned the union that represents uc grad students and academic workers have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike over the uks response to the protests. Now, this vote doesnt guarantee a strike will happen, but the union is demanding the uc system divest, and theyre upset with how they feel. Uc officials interfered with its members right to protest. This means Union Leadership can call for a work stoppage at any point. Classes and research could face major disruptions as many of the institutions wrap up the school year. Police cleared an encampment on uc irvines campus this afternoon and arrested several propalestinian protesters after they had barricaded and occupied a university building. There were some small clashes as officers moved in and corralled the demonstrators. As you can see, some of that chaos right there in that video, police say some of the protesters had chained the doors to a lecture hall shut. The group was demanding the university divest from israel over the ongoing war. Then earlier today, the uc board of regents meeting was disrupted and paused because of jeers and shouting from protesters who were sitting in over the listen to our voices. So the second warning. Youre welcome to observe the meeting should you continue to disrupt it, we will have to recess and have the police clear the auditorium, this is the final warning. And if and we will clear the room until you divest the demonstrators yelled over the Board Members during several points of the meeting held at uc merced. After that final warning, the regents asked the california Highway Patrol officers to step in and to lead them out. The board of regents will hold the final day of their meetings tomorrow. Yesterday, the regents said they have no plans to divest from military or israeli supporting assets. Now, stay with us for continuing coverage of the College Campus protests in the bay area and across the country. Get the latest anytime at abc7 news. Com. New at 11 a group of san franciscans is taking their demands for change to the streets. The citys annual ride of silence is a solemn memorial meant to honor those injured or killed while biking. The event is held on this day globally in more than 20 countries. Abc seven News ReporterTara Campbell was there for the citys 22nd ride of silence, and shares the powerful stories behind the ride, a gathering of cyclists in San Franciscos Mission district. Here with a mission of their own, to remember those killed while biking and to raise awareness. Nine years ago, my partner charles here died three blocks from here. And jeff jones has been participating in the ride of silence ever since. He was a very good cyclist. He knew what he was doing and, you know, if nothing else, you know, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The annual ride takes cyclists from the Mission District to city hall, where they will place whats dubbed a ghost bike. We do the ride year after year after year after year to honor the people that we lost and never to forget that paul valdez is the Event Organizer and says this year theyre adding two names to the list, including professional cyclist ethan boyce, who was hit and killed while riding in the presidio last year, and laura taylor, who was killed in a hit and run. We dont like to, add a name or create a new ghost bike because someone, you know, lost their lives simply because theyre riding a bike. The Bicycle Community in San Francisco is really tight, and its very strong. And seeing people come together for a common cause is always lovely. And she says it was a close call herself that brings her out to ride. This ride is important to me because i almost died riding my bicycle. People who drive to slow down, please. You know, and try to share the roads. And theyre asking for the citys help as well. The city should do a much better job of Building Infrastructure that permits people to get on their bike and not risk their lives every single day. And as for jeff jones, he says hell keep coming back in remembrance of charlie. Ill be here again next year for the same reason, and hopefully we wont have we wont be adding any more names.
