Protest: Say NO to Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle

October 10, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm EDT

No Nazis at UF, Dream Defenders, #ChompTrump, GAU and many other groups are protesting UF's financial support of white supremacists.
New Location: Meet NWLers, Oct 10th starting at 5:00pm in Turlington Plaza (at “The Potato” landmark) to march with other community activists to the event venue.
Demands released by No Nazis at UF include:
  • Cancel the event and refuse a platform to any future speakers who will not publicly acknowledge the link between the Trump administration and far-right terrorism. Specifically, the University must do its job to vet speakers who are part of this linkage.
  • ACCENT Speakers Bureau no longer serves the majority of the UF community in a constructive way. We demand the defunding of ACCENT Speakers Bureau, who have continuously sponsored right-wing speakers such as Ben Shapiro.1 The misallocation of funds is emblematic of a much larger problem at UF whereby students do not have democratic control over their fees and tuition. The allocation of student government funds must do more than reflect the diversity of UF’s student body; it must actively repair and amend the on-campus conditions which resulted in an “F” from the USC Race Equity Center and which contribute to the marginalization of students of color and queer students….
