According to a Facebook page created for the event, the purpose of the rally is “to show support for Syrian refugees and help break stereotypes about immigrants.”

The mission statement of Campus Peace Action is “to turn fear into understanding, intolerance into acceptance, and apathy into action through education, community building, and creativity at the University of Central Florida.”
