DEFEND COLLEGE CAMPUSES
Amnesty International USA and the ACLU launched a campaign for college students to help defend campuses as the Trump administration attacks free speech, academic freedom, and inclusive spaces.
The Firewall for Freedom Toolkit guides students on how to defend the rights of students and to refuse to collaborate with attacks on human rights. Please share with students you know.
