UPDATE: April 28, 1:53 p.m.
The Daily Illini: Can you tell me what’s going on here?
Protester: We’ve come to reinstill our encampment today, but on the Main Quad to show admin that we will not rest. We will not be pushed all the way to Spurlock, which is essentially off campus.
DI: On Friday, you guys had announced that you would be starting the protest again Saturday morning. Why was it pushed to today?
Protester: We needed time to, first of all, prepare because, obviously, this takes a lot of preparing, and we wanted to ensure the safety of our protesters as well.
DI: So, what’s the hopeful goal for today? What do you want the outcome to be?
Protester: I mean, our goal is to push the school to divest at the end of the day. So, our goal for today is to pressure the University and set up camp.
DI: How many people do you think are going to be showing up today?
Protester: I think that we will be able to mobilize around 400 people.
