“What we’re seeing is catastrophic. It’s not something to be taken lightly and it’s not something that can be waved away. And we want our representative, who claims to understand that, to really show it in her actions,” said Sana Saboowal, a member of the CU Muslim Action Committee.
The group is also coordinating a protest outside Budzinski’s offices in Springfield, Decatur, Bellevue, and Champaign on Wednesday.
