The fascist Trump regime has universities in their sights and are moving against students and the institutions themselves. Sam talks with Emily Van Duyne, one of the authors of the open letter issued by academics at Stockton University on April 2, "Silence is Collaboration: Academics Must Speak Out Against Fascism" which reads in part, "there is no appeasing an openly fascist Trump administration, for we know that no one is safe under fascism. When we keep our heads down and stay the course, the fascists continue to lie, extort like the mobsters they are, and humiliate and attack whoever they add to their list of enemies."
Then, Sam talks with Heather Squire, who recently announced she's leaving her doctoral program at the University of Buffalo, issuing an open letter challenging the complicity of her institution in this time of crisis.
Join us in the streets around the country on May 1 raising the single unifying demand: Trump Must Go NOW!
Then, save the date: May 17, join protests around the country demanding Trump Must Go NOW (not eventually, not after the midterms, but NOW).
