Pro-Palestinian Protests at UNM

New Mexico in Focus (A Production of NMPBS)

On the podcast this week, Source New Mexico Editor Shaun Griswold hosts a two-part roundtable discussion on the pro-Palestine protests taking place at the University of New Mexico and college campuses around the nation. In the first half of their conversation, Shaun asks what legal rights students have to protest at the Duck Pond and at the Student Union Building. Later, the table considers why younger people have rallied around this issue. Then, Executive Producer Jeff Proctor speaks with Sophie Leah of Jewish Voice for Peace and asks why her organization wants UNM to divest from Israel.
