Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters.
They told me:
- they hadn’t showered in 5 days
- they were not provided regularly meals
- they were working 24 hours in a row
- they feel under appreciated and underpaid
They also said they all wanted to be there & that they see the work as an important way to give back to the community.
Huge police presence about to sweep the peaceful encampment.

BREAKING: Students at UCLA have established a Gaza Solidarity Encampment on campus this morning, joining thousands of pro-Palestinians protesters across the country calling for their universities to divest from Israel.
Protest is peaceful and calm. Tents and decorated barricades are set up by Royce Hall with about 50-60 protesters in attendance now, with more joining by the minute.
