Apart from calling for Castro's resignation, organizers say the event also provided a safe space for abuse survivors.
"I know a lot of survivors came out today. And you know this was a safe place for them. That's why we're here. To support them. We just appreciate all the resharing on social media and everyone that came out to support," said Loya.
Demonstrators say they want the university to make major investments in its Title IX compliance departments.
They are also calling for more resources to be made available to students who have experienced sexual assault.
