ATTENTION!!!
Massive day of Action & Week of Solidarity planned at the University of Oregon in response to the BLATANT DISCRIMINATION & prejudice at the campus & administrative levels. Students have been repeatedly physically and verbally assaulted on campus for the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, & their disabilities. The administration has failed to address the climate that has made these attacks possible, or to prosecute the assailants. FACULTY DISCRIMINATION has been permitted as well; in the past year alone, 10 professors of color have left in response to these issues.
SILENCE = DEATH
To remain apathetic & stand by while knowing that others are in danger & receiving differential treatment is to CONDONE this treatment.
The SOLIDARITY DEFENSE ACTION (SDA)
is planning this action in order to make it clear that:
Discrimination will not be tolerated, in any form, in this community or within this institution; & the running theme of this week of action is:
IF SAFETY IN EDUCATION IS NOT GUARANTEED FOR ALL STUDENTS & FACULTY, THEN WE WILL BOYCOTT YOUR INSTITUTIONS!
THE DAY OF ACTION TO BE ANNOUNCED!! SPREAD THE WORD!:
