We the undersigned officers of Movement for a Democratic Society, Inc. (MDS), denounce those actions and policies of Pace University that abridge or annul the First Amendment of the US Constitution. If a matriculated student cannot express her/his views in a nonviolent manner that seeks, first and foremost, to educate - on the grounds of an institution of higher education - something is seriously amiss. If Free Expression is denied on the grounds of a college campus where is it protected? If Free Expression is abrogated in a time of war, when it is most needed, all of our lives are impoverished as a consequence.

SDS is having a Northwest Regional Conference, November 17-19 at Lewis and Clark. Read all about it, register and sign up on our ride and housing boards - HERE
