Watch recordings of the Speak Out here!

When: Monday, April 28 at 12:00 pm through 1:00 pm Tuesday, April 29. All day. All night. All of us.

Where: In front of Earl Gates (~117th street and Broadway) - please keep an eye out for updates!

Who: You! Faculty, Staff, Students, Alumni of Columbia University, including SIPA, CUSSW, GSAS Humanities, GSAS Social Sciences, GSAS Natural Sciences, Teachers College, Barnard, CUIMC (Mailman, Nursing, VP&S, Dental), Lamont-Doherty (LDEO)/Columbia Climate School, SPS, MESAAS, AAADSD, and more.

What: A 25-hour Speak-Out to affirm our core values: academic freedom, student safety, human rights, protection of science, and shared governance. Inspired by the history of durational protests (most recently on the Senate floor) and by weekly speak-outs organized by CUIMC Stands Up and Morningside faculty and students on Calls to Action of our Board of Trustees, we aim for this to be a wake-up call to everyone on our campus: we see what is happening and we refuse to be silent.

Why: Why 25 hours? We are a global university, and the struggle for academic freedom and student safety transcends borders and time zones. We will gather throughout the night to reflect on our global commitments and stand in solidarity.
