Higher education in the United States is under attack.

Join us on Library Mall at the UW-Madison campus Friday May 2nd at 3:15 pm for a teach-in and demonstration to ask UW-Madison and UW System leadership and the citizens of the great state of Wisconsin to stand up with us--their faculty, staff, and students--in defense of academic freedom, immigrant and international students, open inquiry, and free expression.

The current actions of the U.S. government against colleges and universities are doing great harm to scientific innovation, community and economic growth, and the education/training of the next generation of workers, artists, scientists, medical professionals, and business leaders of Wisconsin and the Midwest. Stand up with us now to ask campus leadership and our congressional delegation to do more to fight back against these illegal and counter-productive actions.

This event will start at 3:15pm with a teach-in about key demands we're asking UW leadership to pursue and action plans for the summer break. At 4:00pm we'll march down State St to join the Voces de la Frontera rally at the WI State Capitol for a 4:30pm rally where we'll join our colleagues in solidarity and community!
