88 black men & women have been shot to death by police in 2020. Our criminal justice system is rooted in racism. @Nickstricklen & I are running 88 miles in a day for the 88 black lives lost. Donate to #BLM via our fundraiser

90% of the people who fall victim to suicide had displayed symptoms of mental health conditions. To help raise awareness and prevent suicides in the future, @jerryfitz96 and I will run 90 miles in one day. Donate to @afspnational via https://t.co/Umd49j77TK to support our cause!
Brown University has reinstated its men's track & field and cross country teams as varsity sports, effective immediately.
Full letter from university president Christina Paxson to the Brown community:
I really dont understand how anyone could disagree with this simple, well-articulated call to action that demands equality & safety for all. Black people are often terrorized by police officers, lets change that. We need major changes to our criminal justice system. #BLM
Below are three documents that contains actual numbers and evidence further supporting our fight to save Akron Men’s Cross Country. The documents support three factors: Budget, Title IX and the Importance of XC to Track & Field.
Some highlights from an article I read this morning. Seems like maybe we don’t need to cut sports as a first reaction? https://t.co/ZEqmC8vmMe (full article)
My alma mater @uakron recently cut the men’s cross country team for “financial” reasons, but we UA alum and former xc team members believe this was politically motivated. Please read this and find out how you can help preserve the sport of XC/T&F
