Protesters settled in for the night as Deering Meadow’s pro-Palestine encampment approached its 90th hour. Day four saw a standoff with counter-protesters, several speaker events and artistic performances. Protesters chanted alongside Sheridan Road throughout the day, breaking for the night at about 11 p.m. Organizers continued their pledge to remain on the Meadow until Northwestern meets all their demands.
