<aside> 📍 Dear international students and allies, we appreciate your participation in the past few days and your attention on our petition. While we are still collecting signatures, we have started advocating our requests to the university and some departments. However, we believe this request across the university need more hands and more voice at all levels. We believe everyone’s voice and power all together can make a difference eventually. Therefore, we encourage you to join us, with the help of this Act Toolbox, to advocate our request for CPT at your local network and your organization, or to the graduate school or department if you’re a leadership at your organization.

<aside> 🔥 Share the petition

• You can share the petition on your social media/email listserv using this template: ❗ International students & our allies️ - Please consider signing this petition to request the grad school to provide CPT options for international students in all academic departments. CPT enables international students to obtain internship/pedagogical experiences outside the university during our course of study, but most academic departments (26 out of 42) at Princeton have been ignoring our demands and refusing to include CPT into their curricula. Join us and make the change happen. </aside>
