Steven Potter:
The chancellor at UW-Madison has said that they cannot divest. It's just not something that they're able to do. What's your reply to that?

Abbie Klein:
My reply to that is she has a lot more power than she's saying she has and just picks and chooses when she uses it and when she tells us she can.

Steven Potter:
Why is divestment important?

Abbie Klein:
Divestment is important because we should not be complicit in weapons manufacturing that facilitates the slaughter of tens of thousands of children.

Steven Potter:
There has been an alert put out by the campus police about some safety concerns. How safe is the protest here?

Abbie Klein:
Looks pretty safe to me. I have been here pretty much 18 hours a day since we put up the encampment, and I have been helping maintain safety in the camp with our camp marshals or safety people, and I think it's going pretty well and people are feeling safe. If people weren't feeling safe, I don't think we'd see people out here.

Steven Potter:
We are, you know, at the end of the semester. Do you think that protests like this across the country and here will lose steam?

Abbie Klein:
I think that there's definitely a dynamic shift as people graduate and fluctuate in and out of Madison. Nonetheless, we saw and we are seeing that we have a wide support from many aspects of the community, more than just undergraduate students, and there will be representation even after graduation.
