[Sehefac] Turning Point USA on campus tomorrow

[Farah Godrej]

I just want to share that some of my students have also told  me they are planning to hold a protest at the talk/event tomorrow, FYI. No idea how big any of the crowds will be, but this is all definitely pointing to the possibility of some disturbance on campus tomorrow. 

In solidarity,
Farah
