Judging by the homophobic words and actions of top Chick-Fil-A executives, and the $2 million donated by the company to homophobic organizations such as the Marriage & Family Foundation in 2010 alone, it is clear that Chick-Fil-A does not represent the values embraced by the University of Maryland community. Allowing such an organization to continue to operate in the SSU runs counter to the spirit of equality that the University claims to champion.

Sign this petition to call on the University of Maryland to replace the Chick-Fil-A currently in the Stamp Student Union with a more accepting - and healthier! - dining option.
