Three weeks into their pro-Palestinian encampment, student protesters in Denver decided to end their camp and focus on the upcoming Democratic National Convention as the next political opportunity.
As a physical symbol of resistance, the encampment lost its power with dwindling participation, allowing new dynamics such as homelessness to affect its original mission.
Paul Nelson, a leader of the encampment, declared that the presidential election would serve as a referendum on the genocide in Palestine, emphasizing their commitment to protesting at the convention.
Despite a quieter summer, the Denver group continued to organize efforts through protests and meetings to maintain momentum, demonstrating against university regents after the camp's closure.
