we're trying to name the insufficiency of the responses from many as/am orgs (including @AAAStudies) and think outside of the fold of liberalism which posits this debate as centered around access to higher ed.

as/am studies to us means a political commitment to forging better futures, which means acknowledging that we're grieving more than the loss of affirmative action. without naming the violence with which this ruling is entangled, how can we dream about the worlds we deserve?

we don’t have words to explain what’s been happening this last week and for so much longer, but we do know that while grieving for and honoring the people who have died in the last week as best we can, we’re also grieving for so much more (1/7)

When We Fight, We Win! We demanded transparency for our $500 payment and the repeal of a new parking fee, and we won! But $500 is not enough. Join us on Labor Day to demand a REAL raise. Please share widely!
