Hours after interim Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76 threatened “involuntary leave” for all pro-Palestine protesters continuing to occupy Harvard Yard Monday, more than 400 Harvard students and Cantabrigians marched to Garber’s private residence in a pro-Palestine rally.

“You have failed to be a reasonable leader of this University,” protesters chanted. “What are you afraid of? Shame.”

Garber has refused to negotiate with protesters and said he would “not entertain” divesting from Israel.

Shortly after 5 p.m. on day 13 of the encampment, dozens of protesters and a handful of counterprotesters gather at Johnston Gate before a pool of news outlets outside.

Harvard spokesperson Jason A. Newton wrote in an email statement last month that the University has restricted Harvard Yard access to affiliates as the pro-Palestine encampment continues “with the intention to ensure individual privacy.”

Exiting the encampment, protesters approach Johnston Gate with Palestinian flags and signs bearing messages such as “We are witness to a soul destroying genocide.” Behind them, pro-Israel counterprotesters raise signs reading “Hamas Murders, Kidnaps, Rapes” and “Bring him home now!”

Outside Johnston Gate, organizers gather before cameras and microphones for a press conference. Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine Coalition press liaison Violet T. M. Barron ’26 (fourth from right) announced that more than 60 students participating in the encampment are facing severe disciplinary consequences.

Onlookers and protesters gather outside Johnston Gate during the press conference, which concluded by 5:50 p.m.

Around 7:00 p.m., pro-Palestine protesters reconvene on both sides of Johnston Gate for a rally that drew more than 400 students and Cambridge residents. Above, HOOP organizers Prince A. Williams ’25 and Kojo Acheampong ’26 (first and second from right) lead chants just outside Harvard Yard.

Inside the gate, rally participants raise signs reading “Free free Palestine,” “Harvard Liberated Zone,” and “Gaza Solidarity Encampment.”

Hundreds of students and Cantabrigians march down Church Street en route to Garber’s home. Police redirected traffic as protesters swelled onto the street.

At the front of the march, protesters hold banners reading “The World is Watching” and “We Cry Free Palestine.”

Protesters arrived in front of Garber's home around 8:00 p.m.

The rally filled the street as night fell.

In front of Garber’s home, protesters deliver speeches and display a banner reading “We will honor all our martyrs.”

“Every bomb dropped in Rafah has your signature on it, signed in blood,” protesters shouted.

After departing Garber’s residence, protesters march to Cambridge Common as police cars follow close behind. “We’ll be back!” protesters chanted. “We’ll be back!”

Following a brief speech at Cambridge Common, Acheampong urged protesters to show up at the encampment despite final exams. “Be at the encampment,” Acheampong said, before leading the crowd in chants.

“The people, united, will never be defeated!” protesters shouted before dispersing for the night.
