Aggies Against Apartheid, an unofficial student-run group at Texas A&M, is planning an Aug. 26 protest at Rudder Plaza, according to a post on their Instagram account. 

The pro-Palestine protest has three goals, as stated by the post: getting the A&M System to disclose all investments, divest  “from companies and other securities that are perpetuating apartheid and genocide in Palestine” and implement ethical and sustainable policies to ensure “TAMU will not become complicit in this again.” 

“If you are an Aggie that’s against genocide & [sic] apartheid: we need your help, we need your voice and we need your support,” the post reads. 

The Monday protest begins at 4:30 p.m. with sign-making and continues until a 5:30 p.m. march. The group organized two other demonstrations on April 29 and May 7 demanding similar goals. Both began and ended peacefully, lasting a few hours each. 

In the post, the organization recommends prepping for the protest by turning off face and fingerprint identification on phones, wearing plain clothes and a surgical mask, covering up identifiable markings or tattoos and privating social media accounts. It also recommends removing personal names from the A&M directory, a website that allows anyone to search students’ names to find their email, major and classification. 

“There have been instances of harassment where someone’s email was found via the directory,” the post reads. 

The post states protesters should stay respectful and not engage with counter-protests, the media or the police. 

“If arrest do occur — which is unlikely — do not resist,” the post reads. 

The 5:30 p.m. march will begin at Rudder Plaza and pass the Academic Plaza, Evans Library and the Zachry Engineering Education Complex, among other locations.
