Since October 7th, student activists on campuses across the country have been organizing rallies against Israeli apartheid and vigils for the thousands of Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip. Activists at Dartmouth College are among those groups, organizing a sustained vigil outside Dartmouth’s administration building, Parkhurst Hall. Days into the continuous vigil, student organizers released The Dartmouth New Deal, a document that outlined a progressive vision for the college and included explicit demands that Dartmouth divest itself from the military-industrial complex that enables Israeli Apartheid. Hours after the document was released, two student organizers were arrested in a tent outside of Parkhurst Hall for trespassing. The arrested students, Kevin Engel and Roan Wade, speak with The Real News about pro-Palestine activism at Dartmouth, the administration's efforts to repress them, and student organizers' vision to transform the university's relationship to militarism.
