FROM ICE TO FUNDING CUTS, OUR College campuses are under attack!
Despots & dictators are scared of student power because we challenge autocracy and systems of oppression! Cracking down on student activism is straight from the authoritarian playbook!
But students have resisted before…
Throughout history & around the world, young people have been the vanguard of movements for democracy (in Serbia, Chile, during the Arab Spring, and in US history during the Civil Rights & Anti-War Movements).
In this critical moment, students should play a central role in the anti-authoritarian movement today!
So how are we gonna do it?
HERE’s THE PLAN!
1. Build diverse campus coalitions!
To demand noncooperation from our admins & support colleges standing up for our freedom to organize!
2. plan kickoff events!
To align on our demands & launch campus campaigns!
3. build our frontline teams!
Expand our coalitions, and welcome new students into our campus campaigns!
4. mobilize our campuses!
In a nonviolent, national day of action to stand up to attacks on our student rights, program funding, and our democracy!
5. center community!
By being welcoming, loving, joyful, and creating mutual aid throughout our organizing!
