The University of Texas is on the verge of becoming one of the top five public universities in the country.
But will a new conservative administration and political meddling by Republican lawmakers mess up a good thing? https://t.co/9HcPjwKAYp
@DonnaHowardTX@lilykepner@statesman@FBugenhagen_ Not sure, but the President of UT’s office reserved a space for TPUSA due to “security concerns” despite them telling us they would not help us find a space, despite our security concerns
NEW: In August, UT president's office reserved the LBJ auditorium for an unnamed event. That event, students realized this week, is TPUSA's Ben Shapiro talk Oct. 7.
UT said events staff in the office were consulted about venues bc of security concerns.⬇️

UT leadership has taken a greater role in campus events. Though University Democrats struggled to find a space, leaders helped Turning Point USA secure a venue for an event. https://t.co/aHiZ4FAt8o
How much of this fundraising goal went to pay for @hasanthehun’s speaking fee? Is he still charging 4-5 figure amounts to speak at college events? Are you required to publicly disclose this information?
With 3 days to go till the event, we needed $20,000 more dollars to fund this event. We were struggling to find the money, and then this community came in and supported us in ways no one else did. We at @UDems are eternally grateful!
We hit our fundraising goal and brought @hasanthehun to campus! Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts. Thank you to the hundreds of students who braved the rain, security measures, and back and forth! Solidarity is the answer!

We are halfway to our goal. Despite the insane people who want this event to fail, we’re inspired by the thousands of people who have been supporting us and this event with @hasanthehun. Your support helps us keep going in the face of all of these threats

Hasan Piker watched a clip from @majorityfm of Sam Seder taking a call from one of the students who work for @UDems who are trying their hardest to get Hasan Piker to speak at @UTAustin. The student talked about the death threats and blueprint planning of an attempted assassination of Hasan that some unhinged people have been engaging in online. The amount of hurdles that Hasan and the University Democrats have had to endure over the past few weeks to uphold their rights to free speech is insane.

Thanks to all of the incredible support, we’ve raised over $6,000 for the event today alone! We still have a ways to go, however. Every dollar goes a long way to keeping this event and free speech alive!
