The students of Wesleyan demand the administration cancel classes in order to sanction a day of protest in response to the election of Donald Trump. His policies and rhetoric demonstrate a clear affront to the values of the University as well as basic human decency. It is our obligation to resist the profound danger posed by the elected administration to the fundamental tenets of American democracy. This resistance be must immediate and overwhelming. We would consider it a serious failure on the part of the Administration to deny this request in light of the extreme circumstances under which we find our country today.

cant believe this is actually happening. we need to show them we wont just sit back and let this go by without a fight.
Important step for the campus community right now.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Wesleyan needs to take a stand and allow us the space to organize.
It is vital that we are able to excercise our right to assemble without academic penalization.
This is imperative.
The time to demonstrate is right now! Let's get to it.
