The Democratic Party's primary fundraising platform helped facilitate donations to the anti-Israel encampment at Michigan State University.
A fundraiser organized by the Progressive Caucus of Mid Michigan on ActBlue's website helped raise donations to prop up the anti-Israel encampment.
The donation page pleaded: "Support our Student Activists! Please help us feed and house our campers!" MSU protesters credited outside donations for keeping morale high at the encampment, the State News recounted.
Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who refused to condemn separate Michigan protesters who chanted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America," touted the MSU encampment in a post to Instagram.
Unlike the more chaotic and unsanctioned protest at Columbia University, the MSU Board of Trustees approved the tent encampment until April 28 after protesters first attempted to take over campus without permission on April 25.
The administration urged encampment organizers to submit a permit which was approved later that day.
"Hurriya members have collectively decided to close the encampment down. This is only a momentary pause to the encampment not an end to our movement."
