This shameful Executive Order is the first step in the administration's plans to retaliate against the most vulnerable among them. This is a vile attempt to shut down peaceful organizing for Palestinian freedom, further the far-Right's broader anti-immigrant agenda, and trample on our fundamental rights, and it will do nothing to keep Jewish students safe. As the largest public university system in the U.S., the UC administration has the opportunity to set a precedent for protecting students nationwide. Email University of California regents right now to demand that they commit to taking concrete action to protect students and free speech on their campus. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/act-now-protect-students
