[United Voices for ASU @United4ASU]

UPDATE: We've gotten a few questions about the @statepress boycott. As of right now, it is still ongoing since all demands have not been met. More to come.

Where is this energy for when it happens at your own publication?

[Black Phx Organizing Collective @blackphxoc]

Black Phoenix Organizing Collective strongly supports @comradealexia and joins the boycott of @statepress. Cops do not need defending, nor should they exist. Oppressed People who shine light on that fact should be uplifted, not silenced.

And she was never paid a penny for all the money those views brought in, on top of that, the editors denounce a single individual on their platform. Disgusting. Address the demands. #BoycottStatePress

[United Voices for ASU @United4ASU]

@statepress You need to rescind that statement that you all admit can be misconstrued. You are using your publication to attack one individual who was defending herself.

[United Voices for ASU @United4ASU]

@statepress Very low blow. Any ways, you didn't address the demands. https://t.co/jDVwDfu4Pv

You just fired one of the most bold, risk taking student opinion columnists you have and 2 others resigned. What does this say about your mission statement?

[The State Press @statepress]

Our Mission: The @StatePress is a bold, risk-taking student-run media organization intent on ethically serving, provoking and challenging a large and changing University audience.

@KellysAFox @mary_gilham @leothecommie Alexia was not a journalism student. She is a political science student specifically hired as an opinion columnist. Consider this when making your judgement.

@statepress Almost hundreds of organizations are against this decision, please read the following collective statement: https://t.co/jDVwDfu4Pv

[Liza Claire Kurtz @semihumanist]

ASU's campus newspaper fired a columnist in the middle of writing a piece about how leftist and POC voices are silenced on campus, for tweeting abt the rise in anti-police sentiment. Clearly @ASU realy values that "academic freedom". @statepress reinstate her with an apology
