UIC students defy administration to protest Turning Point USA
Chicago, IL – On November 11, over 60 students gathered to protest an event by hate group Turning Point USA (TPUSA) on the University of Illinois Chicago campus.
TPUSA had organized a speaking event pushing forward an anti-abortion message with a speaker who has stated on record that “abortion is child sacrifice”. UIC students learned about this event on the day of, and instantly became outraged and ready to take action.
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at UIC only heard about the event an hour before it was scheduled and moved quickly to counter-protest, standing on their past experience running TPUSA off campus back in the Spring 2026 semester.
Students filled UIC’s University Hall lawn with chants of “Racist, sexist, anti-gay, TPUSA go away!”
Graeme Eble from SDS said, “The students don’t support you! The only reason you are allowed to exist is because of big money donors, and the UIC administration. You are political pawns that receive money to divide the young people of this country because the people in charge know that we are dangerous unified.”
But as soon as students began to make their voices heard, UIC administration started telling the protesters to move back, off of the grass and onto the sidewalk—an effort to minimize the students’ rightful outrage. UIC administration attempted to use policies around so-called “open expression” to prevent its own students from protesting TPUSA’s bigotry.
Despite the administration’s attempts to silence them, students chanted loud and clear and protested TPUSA for over 3 hours.
Students for a Democratic Society at UIC is fighting a campaign to defend free speech on campus with two main demands: an end to the “open expression” form for student speech, and no prior authorization for tabling on campus. Students should be able to freely express themselves on campus without any forms or “permission” from administration.
