This act discriminates against LGBTQ people and women on our campus. This act
is antithetical to the standards of our community. This act embodies hatred.
We invite you to take a stance against this intolerance and demonstrate that
we as a community will not condone degradation of any of our members, that we
welcome everybody with open arms and open minds.
Please Join us:

In wearing white to protest against this divisive act, and later in Collis Commonground for
a candle-lit vigil on the Green. We hope to see you there so that we may come
together as a community in solidarity
