Hi John,
The University of California has given the names of students, professors and staff to the witch-hunting Trump regime.
The Guardian summed up in this headline: “UC Berkeley Shares 160 Names with Trump Administration in ‘McCarthy Era’ Move”
The headline in a San Francisco publication put it this way: “UC Berkeley Hands Feds List of 160 Allegedly ‘Anti-Semitic’ Students and Staff, in Total Capitulation to Trump”
RootsAction has been working to organize a national response – and it’s launching now!
Please click here and sign the petition. It urges the UC Board of Regents to fire the university’s president. He greenlighted the naming of names without the slightest due process or minimal clarity about what the supposed offenses were. |

Our petition says: “Academic freedom is essential to the integrity of education. That integrity has been violated by the University of California as it turned over the names of 160 students, faculty members and staff to the Trump administration, chilling free speech while jeopardizing the futures of individuals tarred with the vague category of ‘potential connection to reports of alleged antisemitism.’ Instead of standing up for the First Amendment, the University of California has disgracefully undermined it.” |

After taking this action, please use the tools on the next webpage to share it with your friends.

We’re pleased to be teaming up with the petition’s co-sponsors: College Democrats of America, High School Democrats of America, and Progressive Democrats of America.
This is a multigeneration coalition to defend the First Amendment and insist that free speech must prevail.
Thank you! --- The RootsAction team
