Silent Protest

On Monday, November 6, from 12-2 p.m., UWO students will be engaging in a silent protest at the concrete beach (area in front of the UCC).

Participants are asked to wear black, and place duct tape or something similar across their mouths to visually show the USC's policy of gagging and censoring groups on campus. The aim of this protest is to draw attention to the actions taken by the University Student Council against freedom of speech on campus. Show your disapproval of the USC's policies, which have limited the views on campus to those deemed safe, and kept student organizations from achieving their full potential.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL OXFAM EVENT. OXFAM SUPPORTS FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND WE ENCOURAGE OUR MEMBERS WITH CONCERNS TO ATTEND THIS PROTEST AS INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS TO SUPPORT FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BUT WE ARE NOT AS A CLUB OFFICIALLY HOSTING THIS.
