[Roosevelt Network @RooseveltNTWRK]

Students at Northeastern—including @NUsevelt—are trying to make #COVID19 testing more accessible to neighboring areas as a first step to make amends for the separation of their campus and surrounding communities. https://t.co/ffdjnQFbW6

Our president @edieocre’s article which speaks in depth about why our proposed referenda on expanding covid19 testing to the communities around us is essential https://t.co/IAZfJ8tLzo

[edie olmsted @edieocre]

we need to be able to voice dissent and improve transparency w/o ppl devolving into racist rhetoric and threats. it is dangerous to these SGA members; and it is harmful to advocacy efforts as a whole.

[Roosevelt Institute At Northeastern University @NUsevelt]

Roosevelt at NEU condemns the targeted racist harassment that SGA members faced as a result of the referendum senate meeting transcripts circulation. Racism is something we need to stomp out within our community, not perpetuate.

[Roosevelt Institute At Northeastern University @NUsevelt]

@ihlstephens Thank you for sharing this! Being met with this when our proposal sought to bring good to the community and emphasize public health was surprising. Looking forward to the article!

[Roosevelt Institute At Northeastern University @NUsevelt]

@hiidonthaveatw3 and @edieocre did an amazing job responding to senators and defending our proposal! We are very proud to have had them there :)

Re: SGA’s treatment of our proposed COVID-19 testing referenda. Please read the transcript and see how senators referred to our Roxbury, Fenway and Mission Hill neighbors.

Sign it kiddos!!! Let’s students pay only for the classes they’re taking! We are being overcharged! Meme for tax https://t.co/Vo8aVl2T05

[Roosevelt Institute At Northeastern University @NUsevelt]

I wish I could make a tweet with no typos “let students”*

[Roosevelt Institute At Northeastern University @NUsevelt]

For students wondering: this referenda does not affect one credit courses like labs or others

[Roosevelt Institute At Northeastern University @NUsevelt]

Why should northeastern students pay the price of 4 courses when they’re only enrolled in 3? We need 750 signatures to allow students to vote on whether or not tuition payments should be per-credit hour!! Please sign and share
