At least 12 of the prosecutors overseeing counties where protests have occurred are up for reelection in 2024! theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…
You can toggle over any dot on our map to find the campus name, number of arrests, prosecuting agency, prosecutor's response, and prosecutor's election year. Prosecutors hold enormous power: they can brand these protesters with a criminal record for life—or let them go.

We reviewed protests at campuses across the US and found police have made 670 arrests on 18 campuses across 14 different states. We asked 50+ prosecutors whether they will prosecute, here are their answers (and a handy map!): theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…
More than 600 people have been arrested at antiwar protests at colleges across the U.S. More than 50 prosecutors now must decide whether or not to pursue charges. @elizabethweill, @megoconnor13, and @jerryiannelli asked them what they'll do. theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…
Of the 53 protests we identified, police arrested at least 676 people on 18 different campuses. The arrests occurred in at least 14 states. We'll keep updating as more info comes in. theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…
We polled more than 50 prosecutors in counties where demonstrations are occurring to ask if they'll charge pro-Palestine campus protesters. So far, only two said they don't want to prosecute people for peacefully protesting. theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…

Based on The Appeal’s survey of local news reports and student newspapers, police have so far made at least 670 arrests on 18 campuses. The arrests occurred in 14 different states. theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…
670+ arrests at protests against genocide nationwide Demonstrations at 50+ campuses across 25+ states We asked prosecutors in every jurisdiction with protests whether they will prosecute. Their answers—alongside their election year—are documented here: theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…
You can toggle over any dot on our map to find the campus name, number of arrests, prosecuting agency, prosecutor's response, and prosecutor's election year. Prosecutors hold enormous power: they can brand these protesters with a criminal record for life—or let them go.

this is a ridiculously important resource—and extremely useful to get prosecutors on the record about what they’ll do
