Tuesday March at Noon on Quad |
Peaceful Demonstration Tuesday
This Tuesday from 12 to 2:30, we will, as a coalition of over 15 organizations and as members of the community at large, hold a peaceful demonstration on the main quad.
We hope ! not only to educate the media and the public about Prophet Muhammad, but also about the respect and dignity people of all faiths grant their ! religious leaders. These peaceful events also serve as a mechanism to unite people of all faiths in solidarity. Rather than burn embassies or protest violently, all peoples should stand firmly with one another and peacefully condemn all forms of hate.
Schedule:
12-1:00 Speaker who will talk about hate speech, the aft! ermath of these cartoons, and the importance of informed dialogue
12-2:30 pass out statement against hate and informational fliers about upcoming educational events
Other Details:
Signs: "Yes to free speech; no to hate speech"
Please encourage all to come out to the demonstration.
