Our action for this year's Take Back the Night is for everyone to advocate for the removal of the Thomas Jefferson statue from outside of the Student Center at Hofstra University. If you haven't already, sign and share the petition for the removal here: https://t.co/olmVno6vYO
At TBTN, student activist @angrynegrita called on all of us to sign the petition calling on Hofstra’s admin to remove the sculpture of Thomas Jefferson from this campus!!! (Link: https://t.co/MxlqL0fH2H)
Our speak out is about to begin! Anyone is welcome to come share their experience; but your decision to share or not share in no way lessens your experience. Photography is prohibited during the speakout. Counselors are available, & safe rooms are SC rooms 141, 142, and 145.
If at any point you need to get up during the event, please feel free to! There are counselors available throughout the whole event, and safe rooms are Student Center rooms 141, 142, and 145
We understand that Take Back the Night can be a difficult event, and not everyone is able to attend. You can still support survivors without being here physically.
