Things to do
Yes it’s frustrating to watch what’s happening and to feel powerless but you can take some steps to pushback:
1. Subscribe to a free press.
2. Support your local NPR or PBS affiliate.
3. Join a public library.
4. Speak up calmly, factually, and repeatedly.
Don’t wait, Act now

Top-down decisions to censor, cancel, or flag classes at Texas A&M do not protect students. It harms their growth.
Brian Evans, @texasaaup.bsky.social president, believes in the students’ ability to stand up for themselves, and for the futures of their university and of Texas.
