A teach-in is not the same as a protest. That’s the first message organizers wanted their audience to understand. The event, a midday gathering on Tuesday, April 25 titled “What’s going on?!” featured an array of University of Miami professors educating on House Bill 999 through the lens of their particular disciplines.
A newly-formed group of University of Miami community members gathered in protest against House Bill 999 across the street from UM on Friday, April 21. The group, dubbed “Student-led coalition” at the moment, is a collection of students, faculty and staff, primarily from UM. Birthed in response to Florida legislation, it also stands against other injustices and marginalizations throughout the past 20 years.
