Subject: Support for Hampton University Students

Dear, [decision maker name inserted here],

I am writing to support Hampton University’s students who are being
threatened with expulsion for participating in the National Student Walkout on November 2, 2005. The student group that organized the walkout has not been officially recognized, even though they have applied numerous times. They have been consistently denied access to the democratic process to which as students they are entitled, and through which it can be determined if they are worthy of recognition.

We demand that the hearings be dropped and that you change your policy on student protests and demonstrations.

Sincerely,
[insert your name]
