The New Inquiry is seeking dispatches (1k-1.5k word blend of reporting and analysis) from people active in the current anti-genocide protest movements. Send pitches to [email protected]. Anonymity can be preserved, and pitches by groups or collectives are welcome.
This is why reporters don't want to speak to the designated spokesperson. They know they'll get a cogent, thorough explanation of what the movement's demands are and that's disappointing for reporters hoping to portray an entitled hateful mob.
If there are any alums of UChicago who want to support our encampment, we know admin is currently trying to gauge alumni support, so it would be great to write to them!
The president of Alumni Relations and Development is Armin Afsahi. His email is [email protected]
Fewer than half of all NYPD officers live in NYC and only 25% of LAPD officers live in LA. But keep talking about “outside agitators” coming onto campus to do violence.
I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.
