“Each of us has causes that are dear to us.

When we elevate more people from marginalized communities to positions where they can contribute to the conversation on what constitutes a real threat and harassment, we may have a more full and nuanced understanding of what speech should and should not be protected.

Take these opportunities with open arms, and help Princeton remind our community and the world the actual reasons that we are special.”

With proper understanding of the problems involved, we can continue to work towards economic and racial parity and justice in the future.”
