Support Hampton Students' Right to Protest! |

Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit United Students Against Sweatshops.The short explanation of this alert was: On Wednesday November 2, 2005 students at Hampton University participated in a Nation-Wide Student Walkout and highlighted problems such as the massive urban renewal in New Orleans, HIV and AIDS, Homophobia, the crisis in Sudan, and the War in Iraq, This protest was sensationally repressed by the CAMPUS POLICE. During the walk-out, several students were booked just because they had on Resist or Die stickers and others were booked for looking "suspicious." Some students were even threatened with expulsion. On December 2, students have a hearing on the grounds that they were "cajoling" and "proselytizing," observed putting up unauthorized flyers, and involved in unapproved protest and demonstration. These students attempted to educate the student body about political and social issues. Because they decided to participate in the student walk-out, the most severe punishment for this peaceful protest is expulsion from Hampton University.
Take action now to support Hampton University Students right to educate and inform the student body about human rights.
