At 8 am, members of the Gallaudet community will come together to camp out peacefully in protest of what continues to be a flawed process at Gallaudet University: a state that we fear will lead to a flawed University.

Elsewhere in the nation, communities will also join the protest by setting up their own tent-cities. One such instance is the Bay Area GUAA Chapter. They will be setting up camp at the California School for the Deaf - Fremont.

Bring your tent and join us. Teach-in at Tent City. Wear your Unity for Gallaudet T-shirts, buttons, or ribbons. Bring your cameras.

Several letters have gone out with stated concern about the oppressive nature of the Guidelines for Expressive Activities and Assemblies (sent to the campus community from Dr. I. King Jordan). Those guidelines are as flawed as the Presidential Search Process and we will not follow them. To do so would be to acknowledge the validity of the document.

UNITY FOR GALLAUDET!

This email is circulating through the campus community through
pagers, emails, IMs -- because the students who tried to send this
through the campus email system were not allowed to do so.  

**EDIT**

"...the Bay Area GUAA chapter is not the host of Tent City in Fremont - it's the larger Bay Area Deaf community and the FSSA Representative, Karina Pedersen, ran the show. The NorCal GUAA chapter wrote and approved 3 resolutions in support of you, the students. More info will be posted on http://www.bayareapovongally.blogspot.com/ later tonight. Again, we are behind you - we are as appalled and furious about what is happening as you are."
