Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“The Fight to Win All Fights”: Students and Faculty Protest Trump Crackdown on Schools

HeadlineApr 18, 2025

On Thursday, protests took place on college campuses across the U.S. condemning the White House’s attack on education and students. This is a student at the University of California, Berkeley.

Sam Kaplan Pettus: “I think that we have something that we’re fighting for that is a little bit different than what we’ve been fighting for in the past. And that is our very right to keep fighting and our right to resist and our right to speak and learn and teach, even if it disagrees with the current political regime. And I think this is the fight to win all fights and that we need to show up in a way that is more powerful and more abundant than in the past.”
