Applaud UC’s Courageous Stand for Academic Freedom

The University of California community is rising to the moment with courage and conviction. Faculty, staff, students, and labor unions have joined together in a historic lawsuit to defend academic freedom, protect free speech, and safeguard the future of higher education.

Their stand couldn’t be more important. UC is a hub of innovation — driving lifesaving research, pioneering climate solutions, and opening doors of opportunity for millions of students. Now, instead of bowing to political intimidation, the UC community is uniting to affirm its values and defend the independence of our universities.

This fight isn’t just about UC — it’s about every public institution in America, and about ensuring that research, learning, and discovery remain free from partisan interference.

Add your name to applaud the UC community for standing strong, celebrate their defense of higher education, and demand that academic freedom always comes first.
