It's no secret that across the country, higher education is under attack.
Politicians are pushing sweeping bans on DEI programs, censoring discussions of race, gender, and sexuality in the classroom, and threatening the academic freedom of students and educators alike. From book bans to restrictions on reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights, these coordinated efforts aim to silence dissent, erase marginalized voices, and reshape our campuses into places of fear rather than learning. We must take action to protect women’s centers, gender and sexuality studies departments, and all critical resources that support women and LGBTQ+ students.
In this moment, student activism is more vital than ever—and college campuses remain critical battlegrounds in the fight for truth, justice, and human rights.
Our friends at Amnesty International USA & the ACLU have launched a campaign to help student activists pass campus-wide resolutions that support key civil liberties and human rights issues—especially in response to increasing state censorship, bans on DEI programs, anti-LGBTQ+ policies, and attacks on reproductive rights.
