Kyle Rittenhouse, deadly shooter during Wisconsin protests in 2020, is scheduled to speak at a campus event on April 16 at Kent State University. Gaige Grosskreutz, surviving victim of the deadly massacre, alongside Kent State students, will be hosting a press conference, followed by a teach-in, on campus to condemn Rittenhouse’s status as a guest speaker and to highlight the harm that his hateful and violent white supremacy inflicts on our campuses and communities. As the anniversary of the May 4th shooting approaches, Kyle Rittenhouse has no place being welcomed on our campuses.
What: Press conference to condemn the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse and highlight the dangers of welcoming him on our campus.
