Leftists planning counterprotest at DePaul Thursday 5PM (Ward Churchill appearance)

Well, at least I know where to find these guys....from Chicago Indymedia.

The Activist Student Union (ASU) of DePaul University is calling for all people concerned with defending Ward Churchill's views and with defending academic freedom, to rally at DePaul.

Churchill was invited by DePaul's Cultural Center and the ASU to speak because of his political views and his history of standing up and fighting for human rights and dignity.

Were it not for right-wing attacks that have included threatening letters to the staff at the Cultural Center and a letter from the Governor of Colorado urging DePaul to cancel this event, this speaking engagement would be open to all.

We must take a stand against those who wish to silence progressive voices, and fight so that Churchill's message is heard.

Where: At the corner of Belden and Kenmore. From the Fullerton el- one block south and one block west. This is outside the Student Center where Churchill will speak.

My note: Here is that letter from Colorado Governor Bill Owens.
