UPDATE: April 28, 1:50 p.m.
After not protesting on Saturday, pro-Palestinian students and community members are taking to the Main Quad to continue their presence.
Attendees are coming in with medical equipment, signs and other encampment gear. Protesters also have plywood and other shield material with them.
Some attendees came on a charter bus from Chicago and Illinois State University. There are currently roughly 400 protesters expected at today’s event.
Attendees are praying throughout the Main Quad.
UIPD presence is at the scene, but because there are no current encampments set up, police have no issue with the showing.
