Colleagues: FYI, below. By now you are probably aware of this latest example of organized hate speech but I am just making sure.

Subject: HEADS UP: April 3 "Punish a Muslim Day"

Like you, fellow PIOs, the subject line on this email sickens me.

Please be aware of flyers that are circulating internationally about "Punish a Muslim Day." <http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/punish-a-muslim-day-disturbing-flier-advocates-for-violence-against-muslims>

At this time, nobody is aware of a credible threat. That said, word is getting around on social media. If you decide to issue a statement, here are some suggested talking points. Please be sure contact your Safety and Security Director and make sure that the advice it contains is appropriate.

*         We are aware of sickening and hateful letters that originated out of London calling April 3 "Punish a Muslim" day.

*         We have contacted the police department and at this time the word is that there is no intelligence to suggest that any activities are planned in this area.

*         However, our Safety and Security Team is tracking the issue and we will continue to work with the police to keep people safe.

*         It is always a good idea to remain vigilant and even more so on April 3. If you are threatened in any way, please report the matter to the police at xxx-xxx-xxxx. We ask that the wider community remain vigilant as well.

*         Naturally, this  against everything we stand for here at xxxx. We know that this type of hate speech hurts people emotionally and inspires fear. It hate has no place in our community.

*         To our Muslim students and our entire campus community, please know that we stand together against prejudice and intolerance.  Inciting violence against the Muslim community is not just an attack on Muslims but an attack on the everything Pierce college and our Democracy holds dear.

*         To our entire campus and community, we urge you to make a conscious effort to counter hate by supporting our Muslim community April 3 and every day.
