Tent State University

“Tent State University is a renewal of the great traditions of dissent and social criticism of the American campus, and evidence that new American generations also have their rendezvous with destiny.”

- Norman Birnbaum,

Tent State University (TSU) will be built this August outside the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. TSU will serve as an "alternative university," a space in which to experience real democracy, a staging area for actions and protests towards the DNC, a venue for musical artists, political theatre, and town hall democracy, multiple '"classrooms" to share and learn tactics and strategies to immediately end the war, and housing for tens of thousands of activists dedicated to holding the parties accountable.

Tent State University will host tens of thousands of activists. We are progressive democrats, greens, anarchists, students, socialists, soldiers, daughters, and brothers. While we may carry different ideologies or creeds, we are united in a firm determination to end this war.

Tent State is coordinating with the Colorado Street Medics, Food Not Bombs, Colorado Indymedia, the National Lawyers Guild, and the People's Law Collective to provide medical tents and first aid, Indymedia tents, free food and legal support.

Tent State University is committed to the principals of non-violence as practiced by Dr. King and many others.
