From ICE to attacks on student speech, to funding cuts, our high-schools & college campuses are under attack!
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 do we do it?
We’ve built, and are growing, a network of students, campus orgs, and movement partners across colleges to fight Trump’s autocratic attacks on our rights, funding for vital programs, and marginalized communities on campus!
We can’t do this alone! That’s why we joined forces with the Sunrise Movement, Campus Climate Network, AAUP, and more to unite under Students Rise Up! Learn more about our shared Students Rise Up strategy for May Day & beyond at studentsriseup.org.
