Make William Paterson University a #SanctuaryCampus
William Paterson University Administration
If we are not prepared to resist, a Trump Presidency could devastate many of our communities. All students must unite to expose and actively resist Trump's enforcement regime.
We are fighting to make our campus a #SanctuaryCampus and are part of the movement to establish public spaces of resistance and protection for our country's most vulnerable people - including undocumented immigrants, Muslims, Black people, Queer people, and all people of color.
We are hurting and we are angry. But we will show this country and the world that we are resilient and that we will continue to resist.
The future is not yet written, and our communities need hope. And for people to feel hope and believe in a better future and a just America, they must see it on the streets, in demonstrations, and on the news. They must hear countless stories of resilience.
Join the #SanctuaryCampus movement and pave the way for this resistance.
