One month ago, we publicly launched ASAU! And while we were excited to quickly gain voluntary recognition, we have been disappointed in ASAN’s leadership for disputing the inclusion of 3 of our members.
We are still collecting signatures to encourage them to do the right thing and stop disputing those members. Please sign here and share the petition: https://t.co/iOhQu4aUvy)
