LOL.
Very amusing that @yorkuniveristy & @rhondalenton constantly promote their DEDI strategy, but when it comes to putting it into action… they silence their students.

We have a petition for the Lindos. If you could sign it, it will help
The deportation includes not only star athlete Tamarri. It also includes his 4-year old sister who is a Canadian citizen that has never left the country
It is a death sentence

Today the Lindo family had their deportation deferred by one month. This gives us time to make legal filings. But when facing death, it is still unconscionable
We want everyone to stand by in case the legal filings fail. If that happens, we need you all to contact your MP

My client George Anthony Lindo, along with his family—which includes potential Paris 2024 Olympian Tamarri Lindo—are expected to be deported next week, facing death
They are running out of time. If you are upset just like me, contact your MP

What’s next? The students are fighting back.
Make your voice heard. We've launched an emailer tool so email the senior administration at York University and tell them how you really feel about their attempts to silence students.

Join us at our rallies on campus. We call on students, staff and faculty to unite and resist this university’s attempts to suppress our voices.
