CDMA condemns this decision in the strongest terms. Punishing international students for their schools’ decisions—particularly decisions made based on safety—is unacceptable. Here are actions that need to be taken: (1/6)

[Amherst College Democrats @amherstcolldems]

@AmherstCollege should be doing everything they can to support international students and ensure they are able to continue their education at the college

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

Trump wants to kick international students out of the US during this pandemic. To needlessly disrupt their lives and force universities to reopen regardless of whether or not they can do so safely. ICE needs to immediately reverse this cruel policy. https://t.co/BzSvlvixG9

[Amherst College Democrats @amherstcolldems]

We stand with @MatthewNowling and support CDMA's decision to leave CDA if these demands are not met. We have a lot of work to do to confront our own racism, but this is one small step towards being an anti-racist group

[College Dems of MA @CollegeDemsofMA]

We have signed onto this letter demanding swift action from CDA leadership. We need a change in leadership and direction and cannot in good conscience remain a part of this organization until that change occurs.

The protests aren’t distinct from the pandemic. Black Americans are dying of COVID at nearly twice if the rate of white Americans. Deincarceration and funding social services vs police has been in the coronavirus discussion from the start. That said, please be safe if you march.

When you’re a woman of color, every day, every moment, you’re fully engaged with white supremacy. We won’t all feel comfortable at a physical demonstration. Here are 12 suggestions to find what works for you and take action for justice: https://t.co/duH3dO2Xov.

[Padma Lakshmi @PadmaLakshmi]

Racism is a spectrum, with varying degrees of unconscious & learned behaviors reinforced by society every day.

It’s not: either you’re racist or you’re not. It’s to what degree are you prejudiced, against whom, and why?

We signed on to this letter because Joe Biden must be held to the same standard as all men with power who are accused of misconduct

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

The Navajo Nation continues to be one of the communities hit hardest by COVID-19. As @NNPrezNez has said over and over again: They're still not getting the support they need, and now they're competing with corporations for relief funding intended for tribal governments.

[Amherst College Democrats @amherstcolldems]
