Whatever you are doing now is what you would have done during the civil rights movement! Social change doesn't feel good in the moment. Those invested in the status quo ensure that by using all the tools at their disposal to make life painful for activists, including the police.
We weren't taught that civil rights icons were despised in their time, and only reached sainthood after their lives had been taken and their legacies had been sanitized. So when I hear people say that they wish @UNC anti-racist activists could be more like civil rights leaders...
Defendants in the #SilentSam toppling case are on trial today, and another comrade was arrested yesterday. Donate to support these activists here. https://t.co/DTXJWLE8hP
We already know that #UNC is not a safe place for people of color, Muslims, or Jews. UNC needs to take responsibility for its historic and current support of white supremacy and for the oppressive structures that are built in to the university.
We extend our love and support to the Jewish community members at UNC, who are being targeted with anti-Semitic materials on campus and reaffirm our commitment to fighting any and all forms of religious and racial intimidation.
