Statement: Public Advocates Urges CA College Leaders to Protect Rights of Students, Engage in Dialogue Read our full statement at: publicadvocates.org/resource…
Student protests are a part of our country’s rich democratic history and have been integral to advancing social justice—on and off of college campuses. We call on university leaders to protect students’ First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly. Regardless of opinion, college administrators owe students an opportunity for expression and dialogue.

Today’s mobilization at city council, the united calls for resignation + transformation + united stance against anti-Black racism is one of the greatest shows of solidarity since the BLM mobilization in the summer of 2020. Let’s keep it going!
Alberto Retana@aretana11 Oct 2022
The last few days in LA dealt one of the biggest blows to Black Brown solidarity in 25+ years of organizing. The grotesque lack of humanity, the perverse use of "power," and the greedy individualism on display emulates white supremacy.

Step down Kevin! Gil! Nury! The nation is watching. Waiting. Step down immediately. Every minute you wait is a minute of justice denied, and minute away from a new path. Let’s get to the work of structural changes that are needed including moral budgets. Let’s lead, LA!

As a Latino leader of a statewide organization that works to uplift the rights of Black, Brown, Indigenous and communities of color in California, I am profoundly disgusted by the remarks spoken and implicitly condoned by LA City Council members Martinez, Cedillo and de León 1/3

Racist, anti-Black and anti-Indigenous tropes and narratives harm and divide our communities and threaten to set us back decades in our multiracial struggle for justice and equality. I stand with my colleagues and neighbors who have called for their resignation 2/3

To my fellow Mexicans in CA, we really need to stop assuming that everyone who “looks” Mexican is 🇲🇽 Admítelo güey, you still do it and ain’t cool. Trust me, 25 years later my lovely Peruvian wife still won’t forgive me for doing that 🇵🇪 #AlzaLaBandera #MiGente 3/4

Música Latina, will you ever see a post-Reggaetón future? Bad Bunny is okay but I miss your other rhythms on the dance floor, like salsa, merengue, cumbia, banda and rock en español. #EstoyViejo #YaLlegoElMariachi 4/4
