Turning Point USA's Director of Communications, Candace Owens, is scheduled to speak at the University of Pennsylvania on Monday the 15th of April, at College Hall room 200. Since this event was announced, the community has organized to shut down this engagement early...

by making phone calls to UPenn President Amy Gutmann at 215-898-7221 and emailing Ms. Gutmann at [e-mail]. Joann Mitchell, Senior Vice President for Institutional Affairs and Chief Diversity Officer, can be contacted at 215-573-9162 or [e-mail].

We must act now to protect our community. During a TPUSA speaking engagement held at Colorado State University, masked members of the neo-Nazi Traditionalist Workers Party showed up carrying shields, chanting the Nazi rallying cry “blood and soil!”

TPUSA is responsible for the Professor Watchlist, which targets and harasses “leftist” professors for being “anti-American.” Their adulation of free speech and patriotism just barely veil a neo-fascist organization working hand-in-hand with a “soft white power” movement...

to recruit 18 to 22-year-olds — a well-worn tactic of early fascists from the Blackshirts to the Hitler Youth.
Concerned citizens of Philadelphia must contact UPenn administration and let them know we refuse to allow this in our city of brotherly love.

TPUSA’s former national field director, Crystal Clanton, texted, “i hate black people. Like fuck them all… I hate blacks. End of story.” TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk said Clanton was “the best hire we ever could have made,” & “Turning Point needs more Crystals; so does America.”

While less aggressive tactics continue, such as phone calls, emails, speaking with the staff, and spreading awareness on social media, it seems likely that a large-scale confrontation is inevitable. We consider TPUSA to be a threat to our city.

By mainstreaming Alt-Right ideology, TPUSA has aligned themselves against feminism, internationalism, anti-capitalism, immigrant and refugee solidarity, workers’ rights, LGBTQ rights, indigenous rights, and ecological responsibility.
