Protesters relocated their days-old encampment — including tents and sleeping bags — to the entrance of the university to be closer to striking academic workers who allege their free speech rights were violated when peaceful demonstrations at other campuses were met with violence.

As hundreds of striking academic workers walked a picket line at UC Santa Cruz on Monday, alleging the University of California's response to pro-Palestinian demonstrators has been hostile, a group of protesters moved their encampment across campus. The strike, which was announced Friday, is the first in a potential series of labor actions at colleges across the UC system.

The strike comes amid an onslaught of campus encampments set up by students and other demonstrators, who have, at times, occupied college buildings while calling for an end to Israel's military attacks in Gaza. In California, some of those encampments have been cleared with a significant police presence. At UCLA, more than 200 people were arrested in a smoke-filled clash with police that spanned two days.
