The charges are dropped and our right to organize on campus is finally secure. Your pressure forced the administration to back down. Stay vigilant because we will keep fighting for every revolutionary on this campus.

The momentum is building and the administration is feeling the heat. This is the moment to ramp up the pressure by calling the CCNY office and demanding they end these arrests immediately.

From a Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado at Boulder: "Dear President Driscoll and President Zimmer: You surely know that free speech is essential to both critical thinking and political democracy. The arrest of Noche Diaz and members of the Revolution Club at your respective institutions are serious attacks upon free speech. All charges against these people should be dropped immediately."
These arrests set dangerous precedents for all of us who speak out against endless wars and other crimes being committed by the U.S. on campuses. Everyone who wants to preserve an atmosphere of dissent and debate on university campuses needs to speak out before all of our voices are criminalized!
As a member of the Revolution Club I denounce these outrageous attacks on our so called right to freedom of speech and more than that I encourage everyone who cares an ounce for the future of humanity to see this attack as a further exposure of an illegitimate system that doesn't want ppl getting connected up with a way out, and a push to get into this revolution right now!
I found my place as a student fighting injustice BECAUSE revolutionaries came on campus. They weren't arrested & jailed & banned. CCNY needs to back off and let students engage with what The Revolution Club has to say
From a BMCC student: "...as a student and a human being that has the freedom of expression...I believe that we have the freedom to receive information from all sources and this is one of them. I encourage revolutionaries to keep visiting our CUNY campuses and have the freedom of expression."
Drop all charges-stop the hypocrisy of your so called institution of higher learning.
I thought CCNY was a college. No free speech? Are you kidding?

Universities are supposed to be places where the students are exposed to any and all ideas. I am not a revolutionary but I do support their right to communicate.
