At midnight, police arrested TEN students at the University of California-Riverside for participating in a non-violent civil disobedience demanding that their university adopt a policy ensuring that university apparel and uniforms are produced in factories in which workers are represented by a democratic union and earn a living wage. Please send a message to President of the University Robert Dynes and Chancellor Cordova urging them to refrain from taking any kind of disciplinary action, be it through the university or the police, against these students. Students have a right to have their voices heard through peaceful protest, and our universities must understand that we will not tolerate any abridgement of these rights.
