Complete the form at the bottom of this page to confirm that youve made the call, and let us know how it went. Sample Script Hello, this is [your name] from Jewish Voice for Peace. I am calling to express my concern that the Center for Student Involvement has issued a suspension of Northeastern University Students for Justice in Palestine. ● This measure constitutes a violation of SJP’s freedom of speech rights, and is intended to silence their message on campus. ● The suspension of SJP is politically motivated because the University administration disapproves of SJP’s message and believes it is potentially divisive. ● Northeastern University is bowing to the pressures of outside interest groups and large donors, rather than protecting its own student’s fundamental rights. I urge you to reinstate SJP as an organization and take measures to ensure that this type of repression does not occur again. Thank you.
