Students for a Democratic Society
On January 21, 2025, a Turning Point USA event at the University of Washington headlined by women’s rights advocate Olivia Krolczyk was disrupted by protesters as part of a counter-rally organized by Students for a Democratic Society. Students pulled fire alarms, broke windows, and obstructed other students’ path to class while carrying signs stating “No TPUSA Transphobia at UW!” and “UW Stands Against Transphobia.” Krolczyk reported that she experienced “threats of violence” and was “harassed by protestors [and] held hostage in a room” during the event, which was ultimately canceled due to Students for a Democratic Society’s violent antagonism.
