campus safety, and they work closely with the event organizers hours ahead of time. >> just make sure that this comes across as an educational event and people really get something out of it instead of just heightened emotions. argument. we don't want any of that. what is terrifying is knowing what has happened at other universities and how quickly it's gotten out of hand. >> i'm sure most of them started like this 34,000 speakers at the teach in included students and faculty, along with proclamations from several campus organizations. >> counter-protesters walked the perimeter of the event without incident. campus security was on hand, looking for any outside agitators similar to protests happening nationwide. demonstrators on santa clara's campus called for a ceasefire in gaza. the end of u.s. funding to israel, and divestment from israel by the university, and calls for the u.s. government and universities to cut financial support for israel, continues to amplify across the country. now, both the city of hayward and the city of richmond

have voted to make that a reality. new at 11 ktvu. bailey o'carroll joins us live in studio tonight with more on that decision and what's next. bailey. claudine and mike richmond, city council voted on tuesday to divest all city money from any stocks or mutual funds involving companies with ties to israel, a city council member tells me they'll likely b b divesting more than $100 million. >> but local jewish leaders called the vote performative. >> it's worth it. it's our moral obligation. it's our social response ability. we have to do it. there's no other choice. the richmond city council voted to divest all city money from investments with ties to israel, as tensions in the u.s. surrounding the israel-hamas war intensify. >> city council member sohaila banna said most residents who attended the meeting were in favor of the change. >> one thing that an israeli jewish lady was saying was that

it's doing a service not only to the palestinians, but also to israelis. it's not just serving them. palestinians with respecting their human rights, but also israeli people with sustainable peace. we have to do it. >> but not everyone agreed, including jonathan mitzner of the jewish community relations center. he called the passing harmful. >> the council is putting the city at legal and financial risk to make a performative statement that won't be increased to the region, but will inflame community tensions. >> but the big question now is how does the city divest that money? it's the same question that has been brought up as protesters on college campuses make the same request of their schools, according to the city. the plan is to comb through investments, see where ties lie and pull the money out. but according to james mcbride, a financial adviser, it's not that simple and may be a moot point. he said selling israeli investments would have no effect on companies or the stock market

as they would be purchased by other investors, adding university divestments don't change corporate behavior, and most investments are in mutual funds or exchange traded funds, and corporations included aren't hand-selected. council member bonner estimates the city has over $100 million invested in different funds, with ties to israel. various city employees will be tasked with finding out where to invest that money. moving forward. >> it's up to the city administration to find other solutions. bring back to the city council by july 2nd, and let us know what other options are the city is focusing on where they'll reinvest their hundreds of millions of dollars, and they encourage other cities to do the same. >> meanwhile, jewish support groups are urging richmond city officials to repeal that decision. >> yeah, richmond. hayward. we'll see if there is another one here, at least in the bay area that comes up next. bailey. thank you. >> all right. thank you. well, the calls for divestment appear to be gaining headway in some areas. northwestern university
