The Unthinkable has happened!
Dr. Tom Alter has been terminated from his tenured position as a labor historian at Texas State University by University President Kelly Damphousse.
Tom spoke at a conference regarding socialist politics on his own time, from his own home, on a Sunday morning. The decision to dismiss him was based solely on false accusations made by a self declared fascist. He spoke September 7th and was summarily fired three days later suddenly leaving him with no income or benefits. He received no due process. Tom is a tenured professor who has fought for social justice his whole life. Like many other professors across the US he’s being censored for using his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Tom and his family need our financial support as he fights to be reinstated after this wrongful termination. Please help us help Tom as he fights to pay his family’s basic monthly living expenses, housing, health insurance and groceries. Additionally the battle to win Tom’s professorship back will take time. He has committed to spearheading the Movement For Free Speech, not just for himself, but for all of us!
You will notice you can make a one time contribution or you can become a sustaining supporter. Doing either will make the campaign to defend free speech a much more successful one! Please share this story with your friends and colleagues personally and via your own social media.
