Stand Up for Free Speech & Academic Freedom

Stand Up for Free Speech & Academic Freedom

Monday, April 27, 6-8pm

Graduate Center 365 5th Ave, New York, NY 10016 Skylight Room, 9th floor.

Come listen to Tom and Noelle discuss the struggle for free speech on campus, and join the discussion on how we can build a movement to fight back against growing political repression in our universities.

Dr. Tom Alter, a respected and tenured professor of history at Texas State University, was fired on September 10th, 2025 for remarks he made at a socialist conference in his capacity as a private citizen. Texas State fired Tom with no due process, after a far-right internet personality posted doctored footage of him speaking and ran a smear campaign calling for his termination. Noelle Mapes, one of the CUNY Fired Four adjunct professors, now reinstated, was terminated by the Brooklyn College administration for Palestine solidarity activism.

On March 15, 2025 a massive crowd of New Yorkers from across the labor movement and allies gathered at Foley Square for a march to demand the current administration to stop the federal cuts as right-wing politicians in Washington are moving forward with devastating proposals to cut two trillion dollars from Medicaid, Medicare, housing and food assistance and other vital programs to fund a massive tax giveaway to the wealthy and corporations.
