Proteus Fund recently highlighted Emancipate NC’s work—alongside Muslim Advocates—defending student protestors in North Carolina.
The feature points to a major legal victory: a federal court blocked the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from enforcing sweeping trespass bans tied to a campus encampment supporting Palestinian lives, which had barred more than 30 protestors from all UNC-owned property.
The case reflects a broader collaborative effort, with Emancipate NC, Muslim Advocates, and the ACLU of North Carolina providing coordinated criminal, disciplinary, and civil legal support.
This recognition underscores the importance of solidarity in defending the right to protest. Emancipate NC remains committed to standing with students and communities fighting for justice.
