@rubenecanedo @Jimmieka_Mills @ClareCady @saragoldrickrab Thank you for encouraging men to step back and carve out space to uplift women’s voices - you’re an amazing #socialjusticeadvocate in numerous ways

[Kate A. Colyer @KateAColyer]

@Erika_Rhiannon @IUPUI Our campus has a Free Food @ West Chester University Facebook page that faculty staff and students all post in to make people aware of free food leftover from events on campus. It’s been really successful! lmk if you want more information!

You get a college degree and that signals to the market that you are worthy of more pay.

Kind of like a penis...

LOVE LOVE @MHarrisPerry

Having great dialogue w/colleagues about enhancing equity within my campus pantry for all identities -important to provide products that affirm racial identities & cultures. Time to move away from charity and cultivate justice #itsaboutdignity #RealCollege #basicneedsjustice

[Vanessa @pachecosays]

To be equity-minded, we must be critical of our work and accountable for process/result.

For students of color to seek help, there is a cultural burden attached. How do we interface with that? #RealCollege

[Kate A. Colyer @KateAColyer]

I’m ready to dive deep @DrPollard_MC #RealCollege #RaceMatters #ethnicitymatters #Intersectionality #basicneedsinsecurity

[One Million Degrees @1MillionDegrees]

OMD is ready to bring this energy & inspiration back to our work in Chicago...and we’re just getting started here at #RealCollege! Thanks to the Ignite series speakers for getting us fired up this morning! This is the work...

[Dr. DeRionne Pollard (she/her) @DrPollard_AACC]

Have we made space for students to mobilize, advocate, and influence campus practices, policies, partnerships, & coalitions to eliminate basic needs insecurity on our campuses? Or are we practicing paternalism by co-opting their lived experience w/o their voices ? #REALCOLLEGE

[The Hope Center for Student Basic Needs @hope4college]

Taking the stage now #RealCollege @MaryPatHector and Lillian Thomas talking about the #hungerstrike they held @SpelmanCollege and @Morehouse

[Sara Goldrick-Rab @saragoldrickrab]

We need to pay attention to pedagogy and price and lets be careful because Textbooks are a Social Justice Issue says @Jessifer #RealCollege

[The Hope Center for Student Basic Needs @hope4college]

“I’m gonna talk about teaching the students we have not the students we wish we have,” says @Jessifer at #RealCollege
